General Notes
Only a tiny number of early uncorrected proof copies are known to exist. No copy has been found with a proof dust jacket but its interesting to speculate whether a proof copy was put together with the Kenneth Lewis design for the dust jacket (see photo) that was rejected in favour of the Richard Chopping Design.Price Guide
