First edition, first printing. Original blue cloth with gilt lettering to the spine and blind-stamped publisher's logo to the front panel, in dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm. There is a previous owner's name written in ink to the upper left corner of the front free endpaper, the same owners initials to the centre of the rear pastedown, and a handful of tiny ink ticks beside a few entries in the bibliography. The contents are otherwise clean throughout. In the fine, unclipped dustwrapper, showing minimal wear to the upper spine tip.
"Has a wealth of information and is superbly illustrated; it is both a popular history and will be a work of reference." ('Ancient Egypt').
