About This Item
Macdonald & Jane's, 1979. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First Printing of the First UK edition. Never an easy book to find and now quite rare. This is a nice copy, tight and square, shelf-bumped at the corners and pushed at the spine tips a little. Remarkably fresh, white text-block, Macdonald's are/were probably THE WORST publishing house for their use of cheap paper-stock which browns easily. Free from owner names or stains etc, very Near Fine. The dustjacket is also in Near Fine condition with price of £4.95 at the front flap (many copies are unpriced). Minor rubbing to the spine tips and corners, slight creasing along the edges. A nice copy, uncommon thus.
