Reginald 05228. Neat early owner's inked signature on front free endpaper, several faint, minor insect tracks on front panel, two very short tears at upper edge of one of the rear blank leaves, else a fine copy in a good to very good pictorial dust jacket with an irregular chip from the base of the spine panel measuring up 10 mm on the left to 26 mm on the right (with loss of half of publisher's imprint) and several smaller chips and tears, mainly along upper and lower edges at head of spine panel and corner tips. Old tape reinforcements have been removed and replaced with inconspicuous archival tape. All in all, a fairly nice example of this scarce (and striking) jacket. (#75231).
