About this copy
The copyright page states 'First published in England in mcmlvi by Faber and Faber Limited' with no subsequent printing or reprint statement visible, indicating this copy represents the first English edition. This copy is bound in green cloth boards with no dust jacket present. The front free endpaper bears a period owner's inscription reading 'Robins, Tanglewood, 1957'.
Condition
- Book
- Good – green cloth boards show light general wear with some fraying at the spine head and tail and a couple of small marks to the rear board. Front free endpaper carries an owner's inscription and some light foxing/spotting. Text block otherwise appears clean and complete.
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.
