Description
Ithaca: Ithaca House, 1979 143 pp. First paperback edition. Press run unstated. 1000 or less probably. Dj is colored illustation, while inner wrap is also pictorial, but 'B&W.'This book is unique in the small presses, in that it fits no school or trend. Its style is somewhat reminescent of Mervyn Peake on fast-forward. Very upstate NY however. Some will not like this book, others the imagery will stick to like burrs on pant legs. Spine straight and true, but text slightly warped. Minor edge-wear to dj at the top of the spine.. Trade Paperback. Very Good/Fine. Illus. by Sandra Vlock. 5.75" x 8.25".
DJ : Short for dust jacket, a protective and often decorative wrapper, usually made of paper which wraps around the binding of a book.
trade paperback : Often used to indicate any paperback book that is somewhat larger than a mass-market paperback.
spine : The outer portion of a book which covers the actual binding. The spine usually faces outward when a book is placed on a shelf. Also known as the back.
