The Waterstones Special limited edition features a special red burgundy cloth binding, a gold ribbon marker and an exclusive extra image. The BOOK is in Fine condition and appears unread. Original cream boards with gilt lettering to the burgundy cloth spine. The gold silk bookmark is present. Clean internally. No wrapper as issued. The book is protected in a removable Mylar archival cover. Striking illustrations throughout in colour and B/W by Charles Mackesy.
