First edition hardback, a Fine- copy with slight dust soiling to page block edges and one small indention to very bottom of from board, in a near Fine- dust jacket with a 1&#8243; closed triangular tear at bottom front along spine, a semi-closed 1\/8 tear at head, and shallow chipping at points. Chalker\/Owings (1991), page 202. Kemp, 204. Note that Kemp calls for black boards with red lettering; my copy is gray boards with a reddish cloth spine with silver lettering, and Chalker\/Owings doesn&#8217;t report on the binding state at all, which would make this a previously unrecorded binding variant. (<b>Edited to add<\/b>: Some fellow collectors believe that this is in fact the primary binding state, and that Kemp got it wrong and the black boards\/red lettering state is the variant.)
