Now available in a bewildering selection of American paperback reprints ranging from £11.85 to £27.99. However, our copy is a proper sewn hardback, and will open flat, if you're not bothered by the rather obtrusive library number on the spine.

When I was nine or ten, I used to help out on Saturday mornings at my local library (on a purely voluntary basis!).  I remember the librarian showing me that Croydon Libraries used to stamp their books in the bottom margin of pages 15 and 115.  To my astonishment, this book is also stamped on pages 15, 115, 215, and so on.  I had no idea this was a universal library tradition . . .
