A good copy that has been read and handled over the years. The covers are bright but have bumping, rubbing and a little spotting. The hinges are sturdy but have a shake. Tyvek tape has been laid in the first interior hinge (see pic) and two gutters for internal strengthening. The textblock is lightly toned and shelf worn. It is generally ordered and appears to be free of marks or notations. It is not ex library. This is the British edition.  #271.  Click on "Warship Observer" for 100+ listings of JFS.
