1st English Language trade edition, 16 x 24cm brown boards with gilt stamped tables to the spine, map endpapers 1287pp with original unclipped jacket priced at £2.75 net.The boards have been well protected by the jacket and are clean and bright with just a hint of rubbing to the bottom edge. Internally clean unmarked pages noting just a book plate for historian Hugh Brogan on the verso of the front free endpaper. The jacket has a little fading to the spine which extend onto the rear panel for a couple of centimetres and for a little on the top edge. There is a little light creasing along the top edge and a ding on the front panel near the spine. All in all a very collectable copy.
