A good plus copy of the British edition. For reference, the British and North American editions match page for page. The British edition used a darker book cloth on the cover and the textblock paper is of a higher quality. The North American edition paper tones (yellows) and is more brittle with age. This copy's cover is fairly bright and only has moderate shelf wear (bumping, spotting, fraying). The hinges are a little loose but remain solid. The rear cover is a bit pliable. Other than one signature, there are no known marks. #260. Click on "Warship Observer" for complete listings, which include 100+ copies of JFS.
