First edition, first impression (true first). Brown cloth boards, rubbed and worn at edges, corners rounded). Ex library, markings on front endpaper only, otherwise remarkably clean internally for a well read book. In a period, pictorial dust jacket (rubbed and a little chipped at edges, small tear on back and soft.) Early Taylor title, now very hard to find, especially in the original dust jacket. Dust jacket illustration by Oliver Gilmore Brabbins (Brab).
