229 pages, indexed and illustrated with black and white sketches. The cream boards are lightly shelf stained; the front end paper and the half title page have been glued together at the inner edge, causing light creasing. This could be a printer's fault; there are very few and very minor pencil annotations intermittently throughout the book and there is a very small, round stain on the blank outer edge from page 163 to 173. I've described it as good, though it's probably a bit better than that. First edition. "Brilliant, witty, scathing, Robin Boyd's The Australian Ugliness is the classic postwar account of Australian society, how we live in the environments we create, and the consequences of our failure to think about how we live."
