Boards gently rounded at corners and spine tips, text block edges lightly dust marked, else neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket, a little rubbed and chipped at edges and folds with minor loss at spine tips. The second volume of Costain's finest historical fiction novel, a story of the tontine -part lottery, part insurance - and the people caught up in it, right at the end of the Battle of Waterloo
