Jonathan Cape. London. 1958. 447 pages. First UK edition, sixth printing. Book is tight. Binding and hinges are sound. Red cloth is bright and clean. No writing within.

At base of DJ flap is the same moisture stain with slight smear to name written on DJ flap. Moisture stain along base of DJ rear. DJ shows rubbing along edges with minor chips at folds and at heel and crown. Book comes from the library of celebrated sports car photographer Peter Coltrin, whose images of 1950's Italian sports cars are widely collected by Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini enthusiasts, among others. Mr. Coltrin's personal bookplate adorns the front pastedown, matching his name on DJ flap. VG/VG.
