Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 1st Edition. Printed in Great Britain. [Date from the copyright page.] First Printing.

As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…
