First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Arthur Barbosa illustrated dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with the usual light toning to the poor quality paperstock, are clean throughout and without inscriptions of stamps. Complete with the near fine price-clipped dustwrapper, which is otherwise free from fading, loss or tears.
