First UK Edition in price-clipped dustwrapper. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR - WITHOUT DEDICATION - TO THE TITLE PAGE WITH AUTHOR HAND-WRIITEN CARD LAID IN ON THE AUTHOR'S LETTERHEAD. Publisher's dark salmon-pink boards with gilt lettering to the spine. Boards bright and clean. No previous owner inscriptions. Very good indeed. Tight and square bindings, spine tips bruised, foxed page block edges and end-papers, offsetting to both sets of end-papers, a book-store stamp to the front paste-down. The dustwrapper is also very good indeed and is price clipped with a tiny scuff to front panel, light wear to corners. A nicer copy than normally seen of this scarce book. Exceedingly uncommon with these attributes. Further photographs available upon request.
