About this copy
This is The Reprint Society (World Books) book club edition, issued in 1965 by arrangement with the original publisher, William Heinemann Ltd. The novel was first published in Great Britain in 1964; this copy represents the subsequent book club printing, not the true first edition. Hardcover in orange pictorial dust jacket depicting a classical bust of Julian. The jacket carries a 'Looking Ahead' page advertising forthcoming World Books selections, along with a small green World Books club marking on the spine, both typical features of this book club issue.
Condition
- Book
- Good – boards and text block are sound and clean; no signatures or inscriptions noted.
- Dust jacket
- Fair – noticeable wear with tearing and small losses at the spine head and tail and along the top edge of the front panel, plus general edge wear and toning consistent with age.
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.
