By Ted Simon

Published by Hamish Hamilton, London, 1979. First Edition / First Printing. Hardback book in dust jacket. 8vo, map endpapers, 361 pages, illustrated with maps within the text.

CONDITION
A good first edition. The dust jacket remains unclipped and in good condition but with some sun-fading to the spine and rear panel (see images). When book is closed the page edges have some grubbiness (again see pictures provided). Map endpapers very good. Neat inscription to half-title page. All contents present and pages good throughout.
