Laminated pictorial dustjacket with french fold; purple cloth-boards, gilt to the upper panel and spine; pictorial endpapers; 180 pp of colour and duotone sepia-illustrated text, appendixes, bibliography, credits, index and list of subscribers, all, according to the mailer, "printed [in Singapore] to the highest standards on 128 gsm Japanese Matt Art Paper".
CONDITION NOTES
While the visible outside of the dustjacket is perfect, the inside of the upper french fold has a brown stain, and there is some other brown spotting, also inside. The versos of the free endpapers and their facing pages (p 1, the half-title, and p 180, the end of the list of subscribers) have similar brown stains; these possibly result from a paper flaw and they are not really obtrusive. The other contents are in mint condition. Unfortunate insect damage has caused a few small white marks on the lower edge of the upper board (see image).
Loosely inserted is a 3-fold A4 mailer and order form for the two editions - R895 for the collectors' edition and R150 for the standard edition.
