Very good first edition copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Internally clean, tight binding, strong boards and spine. Light foxing to page edges, some bumping to board corners and edges. DJ has slight rubbing to edges and a crease to the upper left corner of the back flap, but is otherwise in very good condition. BP/Horse Racing.
