1st edition. Book Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket: Fair.
Very scarce with a dustwrapper. Original green cloth with gilt spine titles in Fine condition: crisp edged, clean and remaining firmly bound. Internally also very crisp, clean and bright, including all 6 colour folding maps, though with a previous owner name, dated 1945, to the FFEP and some notes to the blank pages after the index. Almost no age-toning. Just a small number of very light spots to the outside edge of the textblock. The pictorial DJ, priced at 12/6 to the front, has darkened a little, perhaps from soot, with a little foxing and a few marks, and is chipped with loss particularly around the top and bottom of the spine, and has a tear up 50% of the rear spine crease and another tear across the middle of the spine plus a few smaller tears; it has now been laid loosely on top of matching beige paper and protected inside an archival quality removable clear protector.
