First hardcover edition, first printing. Publisher's original black paper-covered boards with silver titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and free from foxing, inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£10.00 to the front flap). A superb example.
This is the first worldwide hardcover printing in English, a controversial contemporary classic previously only published as a paperback in America and the UK.
