1973 New English Library mass market paperback, first printing. A good used copy with some wear that remains clean, intact and eminently enjoyable. Cover bears evident rubbing/scuffing, smudging, light creasing, edgewear and associated corner wear, mild peeling and points of blemishing; overall, smooth/clean, with good preservation of color cover artwork. Interior pages show clean, creamy-white with crisp black typeset and faint wear/light tanning. Spine remains straight, with evident shelfwear/scuffing, while binding is still secure/square-in-hand, but dry. A lightly battered copy of the second novel in the Colonel Tobin series in its British pressing; for the discerning collector, completist or enthusiast.
