About This Item
New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc. [0-525-05395-6] 1972, 1st edition. (hardcover) 313pp. Good, no dust jacket. 4to. Blue cloth boards; lettering in red to spine, red quilted-pattern device at centre of top board. Lacking dust jacket. Previous owner's inscription at head of front paste-down has been covered up with a piece of matching white paper; ffep dirtied. The textblock has been notably bumped at the head of the gutter from p.300 onwards; this "bump" has created some closed tears, creases, and chipped away some paper; the leaves remain entirely secure and the damage does not affect the text or images. Else textblock is bright and clean. Replete with B&W and colour illustrations throughout. A great reference / reading copy..
