Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition/First Printing. A square solid tight clean very carefully read, if at all, copy. This copy has the usual browning of the text block edges, else fine. The jacket has been PC leaving the very corner of the pound sign, else fine. According to other listings there were only 900 copies of this edition published which sort of makes it scarce in an age where 10000 copies is considered a small printing. This copy has been inscribed and signed by the author. A very nice example of the First UK edition. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND WILL NORMALLY SHIP NEXT DAY. Signed by Author(s). Book.
