About this copy
This is the second impression, issued in October 1983, the same month as the first printing, as stated on the copyright page ('First published October 1983 / Second impression October 1983'). Hardcover in original dust jacket, with jacket photography by Gary Steer and design by Lesley Craig, credited on the rear flap. The unclipped front flap retains the original UK price of £8.95 net.
Condition
- Book
- Good – boards and text block appear sound; ordinary shelf wear consistent with age is present.
- Dust jacket
- Fair – the jacket is fitted with a protective cover that shows heavy scuffing and scratching to the rear panel, and there is a small closed tear/crease at the head of the spine on the front panel. Price is intact and legible.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
