One of only two hundred copies issues with the publication having been dedicated 'To Stuart and Robin', the Author's children. Accompanied by the scarce publisher's prospectus ('announcement') detailing this publication which is in near Fine condition. A very scarce early rear Tree Press publication and very collectible with such attributes.
