First Thus. Octavo. 20cm. Publisher's dark blue cloth titled in gilt to spine, over blue paper covered boards. Lacking dustjacket. 130pp.; 142pp. [1pp.] ads to rear. Pagination essentially the result of two sets of first edition sheets being bound together, including original title pages and the ads to the rear of the Second Series. Light scuffing to the corners with a bit of stripping away of the paper, some soiling and thumbing to the boards in places and some minor bumping and softening to the spine ends; internally clean, fore and bottom edges untrimmed.
