First state with blue boards lettered in silver (the second state were bound in red boards). The BOOK is in Very Good condition with slight offsetting to the blank end-papers and free from inscriptions. A penned red letter 'D' to the upper front blank end-paper. Light pushing to the spine ends and a tiny bump to the upper front corner. Toning to the text-block with some light spotting in places and some small areas of staining to pages 166-176 (see images). The WRAPPER is in Very Good- condition with some light edge-wear. A small closed tear to the lower spine with some associated creasing. Some age related markings and light water staining to the panels which has lightly come through to the front panel and are more pronounced to the rear panel. A small amount of professional tape to the verso of the lower spine reinforcing a small loose fragment involving the letters 'Co' of the publisher's details 'Cowan'. Some toning to the lettering to the spine but the wrapper artwork by Rudland remains striking.
