A 5 cm. closed tear to the upper rear flap fold area. Some toning to the spine and edges. Some offsetting of the red boards to the verso but this does not show through to the front.

The wraparound dustjacket art by Anthony Maitland is notably different than that of the American edition, showing the three principal characters, Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin tessering with Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Whatsit. The wrapper looks very attractive in the removable Brodart archival cover. A neat bookplate signed (without dedication) by the author is tipped-in to the front blank end-paper.

'A book that every person should read, a book that provides a road map for seeking knowledge and compassion even at the worst of times, a book to make the world a better place' (Cory Doctorow). Scarce as the First UK edition with most copies ending up in libraries. Collectible. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
