Publisher's red cloth lettered in gilt to the spine with the publisher's blindstamped borzoi motif to front board, in the dust jacket designed by David Soshensky.

Numerous tape repairs to verso holding things together, but nevertheless very scarce.
Sub-titled 'an authoritative and comprehensive picture of history's greatest criminal trial.'
