Description
E. P. Dutton & Co., 1995 Hard Cover. Very Good. Remainder mark to bottom edge of text. Slight scuffing to panels of DJ. Light shelfwear..
DJ : Short for dust jacket, a protective and often decorative wrapper, usually made of paper which wraps around the binding of a book.
remainder mark : Usually an ink marking of some sort which indicates that the book was designated a remainder. In most cases, it can be found on the edges of the text block in the form of a marker stripe or a stamp of some sort.
Remainder marks considerably lower the overall collectibility of a title, although, in some cases, they are acceptable to a collector.
shelfwear : Minor wear resulting from a book being place on, and taken from a bookshelf, especially along the bottom edge.
Book summary
Burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr prefers to work alone--the risks are lower and the company is better. Offered $5,000 for a simple job, Bernie breaks into an apartment but discovers that the box he came for is missing and there is a dead body on the floor. Accused of murder, Bernie holes up in a friend's apartment where, with the help of a very lovely neighbor, he tries to figure out who set him up--and why.
