Spine of dustwrapper just slightly darkened, with a strip of darkening to the front panel of the dustwrapper. Slight wear and very slight loss to the edges of the dustwrapper. The dustwrapper still retains the 6d printed price to the corner of the front flap, which is often found clipped. ***In a very good thin original dustwrapper, which has some marks and creasing commensurate with age and handling. Internally the pages are clean, although the paper has browned over the decades. Light reading crease to the spine, otherwise no creases. The card wrappers are near fine, clean and unmarked - protected by the original dustwrapper. ***Near fine in monochrome illustrated black printed turquoise-blue and white wrappers.
