Fine in brown cloth covered boards with orange text on the spine and the same on the front board. A 12mo measuring 7 1/8" by 5". In a fine, facsimile, unclipped dust jacket with the "FEL" logo on the rear flap with the spine area very slightly faded which seems to be true with all copies from the First Edition Library.
