A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping at the extremities. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps.

Signed by Frank Auerbach in black ink to the reverse of the front endpaper (opposite his striking black and white portrait photograph).
