This copy one of one thousand numbered limited edition copies each signed by the author to the publisher’s bookplate, this number 523. A near fine copy, the book with a small handful of light marks to the white cloth, a common issue with the volume. Internally fine. The slipcase just lightly marked to title panel and opposite with very mild rubbing of the gilt. A sharp copy overall.
