"London & New York" on rear cover denotes the first printing. Folding joints inside covers are cracked. Small inscription in ink to front pastedown. Some light fingering but contents generally clean. Page egdes (where folded) are slightly worn. Silver tab closure covering is missing to front (quite normal with these editions). Pale darkening to lower half of front cover (see picture).
