About This Item
Chapman & Hall London A rare and almost as new first edition. The jacket is without any spine fade. It has one tiny repair to the back of the jacket and an insignificant chip at the top of the spine. The jacket is now protected. It is not price clipped. The binding is undamaged; no bumped corners. The dark stained top edge of the text block has one tiny light patch, and it is about the only sign of use. This really is an exceptional copy of a great book, and it looks to be unread.. 1st Edition.. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine.
