The Ages of Gold Tapa dura - 2007

London: GFMS Limited, 2007. 1st Edition . Hardcover. As New/As New. Black cloth with gilt (naturally!) lettering to fr. and sp. 446 pp. (prelims in roman), 4 8 pp. blocks of coloured ills ex-pagination. Unclipped jacket (will add protective sleeve when ordered. I might note these jacket illustrations and design differ from that on another copy I am listing, though design credit the same. Unclear why this should be, the other jacket is, in my opinion, in some ways better, but difference fairly marginal. Explanation may lie in this having 'Sharps Pixley Bullion Brokers' at bottom of spine instead of GFMS, though only that appears on t.p. 19.5 cm x 26 cm
