Description

Published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London; 1962. First English Edition. Translated by Elspeth Harley Schubert. 8vo. 126pp. Condition: Fine Very Good.

Bound in original red cloth boards with gilt title to the spine. Other than a little darkening to the top edge, the binding is in excellent condition, tight and square and free from damage or marking. Inside, apart from a touch of toning to the edges, the pages are clean and bright. 

The book is housed in the original dust jacket, unclipped with the original price of 15s net. There is a little darkening to the spine edges and some general rubbing. There is a little shelf wear, with a few small tears to the edges. That said, however, the jacket remains smart and complements the book well. 

In all, this is a smart example of this first edition by Olle Hedberg, translated from the Swedish version published in 1959. It would sit smartly on any shelf.
