Slim 8vo. 60pp. Grey cloth lettered in gold at the spine. Edges very lightly spotted, with some further spotting and quite noticeable partial browning to the free endpapers. Presentation inscription from Vernon Watkins to his wife Gwen [Gwendoline Watkins, née Davies] to the head of the front free endpaper: "To Gwen with love from Vernon (Christmas 1963)". A very good copy in fair dust wrapper, which is non-price-clipped but soiled and a little spotted, with a three-inch area of loss from the base of the spine panel, a little further loss from the head, and several further tiny fractions from the corner tips. Quite uncommon, and nicely enhanced by Watkins' contemporary presentation inscription, although the wrapper could be nicer.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover.
