ISBN10: 0091521300, ISBN13: 9780091521301, [publisher: Burnett Books Limited, London] Hardcover First Edition Bookplate to front pastedown states "The Library / Bolton Institute of Higher Education / Deane Campus, Deane Road, Bolton," overstamped "Withdrawn." There are also some library numbers in pen to copyright page, and small bar-code labels to FFE and rear pastedown. All (closed) page edges also bear library rubber-stamps, as does the title page. This volume looks very nice in its unclipped, "near-fine" original dust jacket, which was protected in an earlier library dust jacket protector which blessedly was NOT glued down. However, it appears to us that the blank Free Front Endpaper has been neatly cut out and discarded, leaving insufficient overlap of paper to properly repair the front hinge. The traditional means of securing this hinge (which is still holding) against further stress would be to run up a strip of archival white "library tape," but we have not done so.
