Scores of pencilled illustrations. A very nice copy. The only faults are that the bottom edges are a tad fingered and the rear of the DW has a tiny hole in it - almost as if it has been pierced by a needle which has been 'worked'. The DW is now protected; no adhesives used, just folds and this small fault is hardly noticeable. A very nice copy of this scarce book. VG/VG (Book ref. 3507) £38.00
