a virtually untouched copy of the scarce second edition with rare dust jacket. Number 546 of 1000 copies, with the number printed 2-mm high and retaining misprint "mount in." While Gallup (A6b) does not mention the dust jacket, he does say that this second edition is really a second impression from the same setting of type as the first edition, but with the alteration in the colophon.
