First edition first printing. Hardback book is tight clean and square. Boards sharp and clean, title gilt perfect. Text block clean, with only a hit of toning to edges. Feels unread. Fine condition. Jacket some light handling and shelf marks to the gloss, and sunned spine. Overall a near fine copy. Signed and inscribed by the author to title page. For grading accuracy books are photographed without a protective book cover. This book is fitted with a non adhesive archival quality book protector to make a quality addition to your collection. Note we do not use stock images, the book pictured is the book described. A very nice example of this collectible first edition first printing title, signed and dedicated by the author.
