About this copy
This is the UK first edition, first printing, confirmed by the copyright page statement 'Copyright 1971 by Eric Newby. First printed 1971' with no subsequent reprint notices. ISBN 0 340 10558 5.
Hardcover in original dust jacket, jacket design by Don Last. The jacket's front flap carries the original printed price of 45s / £2.25 net in UK, and the rear panel advertises Newby's earlier title Slowly Down the Ganges.
Condition
- Book
- Good – text block appears clean and sound, with some foxing/tanning to the top edge of the preliminary leaves. Boards not separately examined for wear beyond what is shown in photos.
- Dust jacket
- Fair – heavy staining to the front flap and rear panel, with chipping and small losses to the spine ends and corners, and edge wear throughout.
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.
