First edition, first impression. Bound in the publisher's buckram in an unclipped dust wrapper, the wrapper a little edgeworn with an open tear to the top of the front panel, and some loss to the head of the spine. The corners similarly a little bumped and bruised. Loss to the top corner of the rear panel and another open tear with loss at the head of the rear joint. Historic folds to the inner flaps. Hinges a smidge loose commensurate with size. Lavishly illustrated in colour and monochrome throughout. A bright first edition copy of this 1960s work on British contemporary art.
