First US edition, first printing. Prelims plus 286pp. Bound in black cloth-covered boards with orange titles to spine (boards strong, clean, and square; just a little rounded at corners and spine tips). Text block edges toning, as is common with this edition. Internally neat, clean, and tight; some faint, occasional spotting on endpapers only. In its original, unclipped dust jacket, designed by Raymond Hawkey (lightly bumped at edges, bruised at spine ends, a little soiled, with remnants of price sticker on front). The dust jacket is now protected in an archival-quality mylar wrapper, fitted without the use of tape or adhesives.
