With a black and white frontispiece, two black and white illustrations placed at section headings, and fourteen black and white illustrations added to author Ray Bradbury's short story 'The Black Ferris' at the rear. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with a small bump to the tail of the spine. The contents are clean throughout, and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the near fine original dustwrapper, which is bright and fresh, with a little rubbing at the extremities. Not price-clipped (£59.99 to the upper front flap). Housed in the near fine, structurally sound slipcase, which has a touch of creasing to the bottom of the backstrip.
