Publisher's grey cloth binding with black titles on front panel and spine. Illustrated dust jacket.

133pp.

Binding tight. Contents clean. The book itself is in fine condition and has the original bookseller's ticket at the bottom of the front paste down. The bookseller was located in Johannesburg, which is fitting as Bosman lived in Johannesburg, described himself as "a Jo'burg man", wrote unforgettable stories about Johannesburg, and died in Jo'burg.

The dust jacket has a large piece missing at the tail end of the spine and also some age-associated edge wear. It is now protected in a Brodart sleeve.
