About This Item
London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, Ltd, 2000. First Edition. Orange Boards. Near Fine/Near Fine. Large 8vo. 167pp. A very fresh copy of this book, with gilt embossed lettering to the spine. There is the slightest of bumps to the head of the front board & the head of the spine - both are barely noticeable. The tail of the spine is also slightly turned in & is again barely noticeable. A tight, clean book. The dust wrapper has not been price clipped & maybe has slight shelf wear but is otherwise superb. A clean, colourful wrapper. An excellent copy of this book.
