First edition, first impression. 308pp. Blue cloth-covered boards with gilt portcullis on front panel, gilt lettering on the spine. Pale blue endpapers. A few scattered, mild white marks on front panel, cloth slightly rounded at corners and spine ends, else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. In its original laminated dust wrapper, small scuff on front panel (perhaps from the careless removal of a previous price label?), a little shelf worn, lightly bumped at edges.
