    Lovely edition, easily as a good as a copy I'd bought in the 70's with plenty of protection around the dust cover. Took a long time for me to get this one, but thankfully I finally managed to be able to afford to buy it. Had some difficulty getting at the end of its journey, unfortunately that's a local problem. The parcel was unharmed and has arrived in good order.
