First edition. Book Society issue. Signed by the author. Publisher's original red cloth with titles in blind to the upper board and in gilt to the spine, in dustwrapper. Top edge red. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, spotted to the text block edge and occasionally to the surface of the prelims, are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' marks. Complete with the bright, rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is a little chipped at the spine tips and fold corners. Not price-clipped (10s 6d net to the lower front flap).
Signed by Nevil Shute in blue ink on the half title. Uncommon thus.
