First of this U.S. edition, actually a reprint of the 1964 first edition (London: Cassell & Co.) of 1964, usually misidentified as also from1964 -- but presence of ISBN (which didn't begin until 1972) as well as internal clues such as "FPT >$24.95" on front jacket flap likely date it to ca. 1980. A superb, bright and tight copy, in any case.
