Pritchard in black and white, title signed by the author, original printed blue wrappers, original staples oxidised leaving slight discolouration around spine, else a fine copy, small 8vo Geoski & Grogan note that Mrs Kempson [commissioner of work] recalls that only 20 or 30 copies were printed and that the printer John Randle recalls a figure closer to 100, printed exclusively for private distribution and none for sale (A7, p.14, William Golding, a Bibliography, 1994, A7, p.14).
