Book Condition - Near Fine: Some very light creasing along top edge of dust jacket, though nothing more than light shelf wear. Dust jacket unclipped, now protected by plastic slip cover. Cloth binding and gilt lettering along the spine remains near mint. Spots of foxing along page edges, although they're still crisp. Internally, the pages are clean and tightly bound, and have never been thumbed or opened.
First edition, 1966. Copies are scarce. A wonderful addition to any Biggles collection, especially in such excellent condition. Buyers will be pressed to find a finer example.
