First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with just a touch of rubbing at the spine tips, the cloth and gilt remains bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly faintly creased dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£18.99 on the front flap).
A collection of Gilbert's previously uncollected short stories. Copies in this condition are scarce as most of the first edition went into the British library system.
