60pp, with tables, charts and charming illustrations by Edward Ardizzone. In red cloth covered boards (boards are strong and square, but marked with old tape residue). A little rusting on endpapers and a stamped number, else internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket (bumped at edges, lightly chipped at spine ends). An authoritative introduction to the principles of English law, why law is necessary, how it is made and where the gaps and uncertainties are; and providing a snapshot of the state of the law in the 1960s.
