254 pages, colour frontispiece (a view of St Andrews) and 63 colour and black & white plates with captions on the tissue guards, bound in full red morocco, titled and decorated gilt on the upper cover and spine, all edges gilt, marbled endpapers, hint of staining by pressed leaves on eight pages, binding slightly leaning, a very good copy.
Signed by the author on the second free endpaper and with an original watercolour – ‘A Birdie?’ – by Harry Roundtree bound in before the half title page.
