Dust jacket has one large tear, visible in the second and third photographs, one other tear, top rear, of less than 1 cm., and a little edge-wear. No indication that it is not a first edition, other than the fact that it was printed in Great Britain rather than California, whether that means anything. Regardless, it seems rare and valued.
