The Decline of the West

First thus, sixth printing.  xvi, 508, xxxii pp.  Red cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on spine. Top edge sprayed red.   8vo.  Cloth is a little shelf worn and perhaps a tad faded.  Upper text block edge faded. A little light spotting on first few leaves.  The last twenty or so leaves have a small nick and are bumped on the lower edge; the last two leaves are torn along the gutter and partially detached, the final leaf (bearing the colophon and publisher's adverts) has been torn across and repaired with clear tape.
