About This Item
South Carolina: CokerCraft Press, 1987. Hardcover. Very Good/fair. Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page, "January 1988 To George Duggan with best wishes, P.C. Coker III." A very good copy, with no indication of edition. Clean blue cloth with silver titles and illustrations. Minor dust and speckling to the text block edges and a hard bump at the top center of the rear board edge. Corners and spine ends straight. Solid binding and interior is clean an unmarked other than the author's inscription. The dustjacket is much worse - fair at best with a 4 inch tear up fold between the spine and the front panel and damp staining to the inside bottom of the rear panel - not reflected on the book. Chips, tears and scuffing - an unfortunate jacket for a very nice book. 314 pp., indexed, illustrations in color and black and white throughout. A beautiful book once you take the jacket off.
