One of the author's three masterpieces, published in New York three years before the UK printing. This a large format and rather heavy book much prone to wear.

First edition, first printing, number 508 of 1250 copies; large 8vo; unmarked internally; publisher's deep blue cloth, titles to spine gilt, not issued in printed dustjacket, spine slightly faded, a little rubbing to extremities, else very good.
