The Leopard

Green cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine. Foxing to edges of text bock and to leaves. In Hans Tindall designed dust jacket with Book Society Choice and original price of 16s.net to flap. A little soiled and foxed. Rubbed and slightly chipped to spine edges and corners. Translated from the Italian by Archibald Colquhoun. *** A very good first printing of this Italian classic and international bestseller; the only novel by Di Lamedusa, who died a year before it was published in Italy (in 1958).
