Ink dedication by the author, including "Salisbury 27/11/41" on front pastedown. 

Red cloth-boards, gilt lettered to the upper panel and spine, plain endpapers, [x] pp of prelims + portrait of the author as frontispiece + 128 pp of text and appendix + 12 inserted halftone portraits and scenes.

CONDITION. The spine is sunned and the upper panel and corners are rubbed. The endpapers are sunned and the author's ink dedication fills the front pastedown. The text - but not the illustrations - is lightly foxed almost throughout. The seven last leaves have insect damage at the foot and the centre (see images). What should have been a tipped-in erratum slip referring to p 190 has been pasted to p 191 and so obscuring the first seven lines of the text of the appendix, which starts on this page. 

The copy is included in this only fair-good condition because of its interest and rarity.
