Previous owners name and date in pencil to front fixed endpaper remains discreet. Loosely laid in newspaper cutting of Francis Durbridge obituary. The dustwrapper has wear and some hairline tears to top and bottom of front panel, and a little more so to head of spine, with associated rubbing. Importantly there is no loss and no restoration. Protected in a removable archival booksleeve to preserve its condition. Most copies were consigned to library copies so this copy is a rarity. A VERY HARD FRANCIS DURBRIDGE BOOK TO FIND..........…
