The only flaws are 1 a fold tear at the front jacket flap; 2 small holes in the edge of the rear jacket fold. Will happily provide photos are these flaws. Both flaws are only noticeable on close examination. The book itself is exceptionally clean tight and square. The top edge is slightly dusty and half title page has a few faint fox spots. Overall nr fine in a nr fine jacket. For a book issued in 1948 this is rare indeed. John Lehmann hardcover
