1st Edition. 1949. David Heller. Cape Town. 4to. 276pp. Although not indicated, apparently one of 500 copies privately published and signed by the author on the title page. A Fine unmarked barely read copy in the original black buckram on boards imprinted in silver, in a VG+ dustwrapper which has slight edge wear and a couple of short closed tears at the folds and some slight rubbing of the front panel. A better than usual copy of this title. Please note that this is a heavy book weighing about 1,5Kg. and will certainly incur fairly steep shipping charges if sent abroad.

  • Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus
