First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the Barbara Walton illustrated dustwrapper. A lovely fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very near fine dustwrapper that is just a touch faded to the spine. Not price-clipped (£1.70 net to the lower front flap).
As with many of the Travis McGee novels, the UK printing is the first appearance of the novel in hardcover. (Hubin).
