First edition, first printing. Publisher's original brown cloth with gilt titles, over black to the spine, in the John Minton illustrated dustwrapper. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping at the spine tips. The cloth is a touch faded to the spine and otherwise bright and fresh. The contents, with a little spotting to the prelims at the hinge edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has a couple of short closed tears at the edges and a small chip to the upper edge of the rear panel. Not price-clipped (10s 6d net to the lower front flap).
An attractive example of the author's second novel.
