A nice presentable collectible and gift item.

Former owner's discreetly blind embossed stamp to the front end-paper, a hint of rubbing to the spine, else very nearly fine and tight in autumn-yellow thick-linen boards with gilt embossed titles to an olive-gray decorative panel to the spine, front and rear decorations and cover art by Freedman in russet-burgundy, greenish-blue end-papers with creepy vignette art by Freedman; lacking a slipcase.
