First Printing/First Edition. 174 pages in blue cloth-covered boards with silver lettering and title box on spine. A tiny stain on lower edge of text near spine, a very slight spine lean, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. Painting on the pictorial dustjacket by Sam Bryant.
