Facsimile of the first edition of the English translation. States "first edition" on the English language copyright page at the front and the later printing on the Japanese language copyright page at the back of the book.

Text is unmarked; pages are bright, though there are a few tiny foxing dots on the top edge of the pages. Binding is tight and square. Dust jacket is ever so slightly edge worn, though it does have one small circular stain on the front panel.
