Printed black with white type, rather than the original pale-green type, this jacket was issued in 1961 to wrap books bound from First Edition sheets left unbound in 1953. The jacket is considerably rarer than the original First Edition copies. It is here preserved in exceptionally good condition. First English Edition (Second State) (Cohen A264.1) (Woods A137a).
