About This Item
First UK edition, 1st printing, hardcover with dust jacket in archival cover. Volume is Very Good: endpapers and paper edges with foxing; no interior writing, markings, or other issues. Front board has small crease (see image) that looks like it was tied with string in past. Dust jacket is Good: not price clipped. Chips and closed tears along edges, and spine tips. Neat old archival tape repair. Small water spots on back not affecting book in any way. Not as bad as it sounds. A perfectly reasonable (and kind of cool) reading copy. Notes: Firsts Magazine (March, 2004) identifies 1st and 2nd states of 1st printing with this being a second state.
