The pages are clean, crisp, unmarked and uncreased. The dust jacket is in fine condition with little wear if any. We package all books in custom cardboard book boxes for shipment and ship daily with tracking numbers.; "This is, as the jacket indicates, a memoir and not an autobiography. It focuses, sequentially, on the people and culture which marked TE as an individual, including Carmelite nuns, priests, politicians, aristocrats and, of course, Oxbridge dons. Always categorizing himself as a Marxist he is never doctrinaire, except to the degree that he recognizes the left's universal tendency to fracture itself into a panoply of factions which fall into vigorous disputes over the smallest of political distinctions. The writing is nothing short of hilarious, particularly in its descriptions of individuals and types."; 5.25 X 1 X 8 inches; 160 pages.
