1966 · réf. 241018 — Dublin: Allen Figgis 1966. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Plus/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" Large. N/a. 100pp. 1966. First edition. 4to. large. A scarce book that fairly regularly pops up at auction and can sometimes make considerably in excess of what I am asking for this copy. Original publisher's black boards - gilt embossed to the spine. 100 lovely colour plates after Flora H. Mitchell with accompanying text. A very good plus copy in very good jacket. No inscriptions. A bump to the upper rear board corner and a slight bump to the upper front board corner. A light bump to the head of the spine. The jacket hasn't been price-clipped. Two short tears to the peripheries have been repaired to the verso with what appear to be strips of sellotape no browning. There are also a couple of slight nicks to the head / tail of the spine of the jacket which appear to have been repaired with tiny strips of archival tape. Light rubbing to the jacket - head and tail of the spine and a tiny strip of rubbing close to the 'A' of vanishing. A very good plus copy in very good jacket of a book that has a rare virtue - intrinisc value. Allen Figgis hardcover
