See below the description from the dustwrapper flap.

An important and well-reviewed anthology, subsequently published as a Penguin Classics paperback, though Penguin have allowed their edition to go out of print.  The book is now available only as a Routledge hardback library edition at an eye-watering £115.00, or as an e-book at £40.49.

This original George Allen & Unwin edition is a proper sewn hardback and so much easier to read (and will last much longer) than a paperback.
