Original grey cloth on boards, no DJ. Badly worn and torn, but lovingly repaired and needing more. SEE SCAN. Ex-library copy shows paper tape gutter repairs, sewed spine repair, and gluing of backstrip. Still it all hangs together for a good reading copy. Three hundred million unrepresented peasants under the British Raj... 460 pp. plus an appended author's note that describes a real explosion at Hyderabad similar to the central feature of the novel.
