First USA edition, sixth printing (stated). Previously published in the UK. 208pp, with line drawings in text. Black publisher's cloth-covered boards, red lettering on the spine, red illustration on front panel. Cloth is a little worn, gently rubbed and rounded at corners and spine ends. A hint of toning on endpapers, else internally neat, clean and tight. In its original worn, rubbed and torn dust wrapper, a little shelf wear visible on verso.
