![]() The size of this paperback-sized book in inches is 7.5 x 5.0 and it weighs 0.23 kg. The book has 166 numbered pages but no illustrations. The dust-jacket is an old fashioned thin plastic protective sleeve but it has worked well as the paper used for the jacket in 1949 Austerity England is very thin. ![]() The cloth on the spine however is unaffected and the titles are in still bright silver gilt. The book's cloth bound covers show fading of their dyed colour not in a uniform way but in a modern art blotchy approach. The pages of text have survived over 70 years extraordinarily well and are certainly in 'Near Fine'. ![]() ![]() Both book and dust-jacket are in strong 'Very Good' condition - please refer to our photographs. This First Edition and first printing hardback was published by Longmans in London in 1949. ![]()
