Parliament for Europe.
Jonathan Cape Ltd, 1979. First edition hardback in original unclipped dust jacket. David Marquand is an academic and former Member of Parliament.

This is one of several books of this type that were published in the late 1970s on direct elections and the European Parliament. Adopting a pro-community position, Marquand picks up on a number of themes, and, in a highly readable, talkative manner, gives his point of view on accepted myths concerning the Community and direct elections. Both dust jacket and book are in a very good condition. 147 pages (including index). 225 x 140 mm (8¾ x 5½ inches).
