Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Good condition. Ex library copy with stamps on inside front cover, blank front endpage and title page. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Body text and binding are still very good. Gerster does not set out to debunk the Digger himself, but to challenge the assumptions, biases and prejudices that have shaped the literary packaging to a public only too eager to be flattered. It is the rhetoric and imagery of the 'advertising campaign' rather than the product itself that is the subject of this revealing and often witty book.
