Description:
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1960. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Good-. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover with dust jacket. Original price of $3.95 is still present on the front flap. DJ shows quite a bit of edge wear and chipping, chipping to the spine edges being the worst. The underside of the dust jacket was neatly reinforced with masking tape along the top and bottom edges, over the decades the glue from the tape has darkened the exterior side of the jacket. The tape is dry and brittle and appears to be very easy to remove if desired. Gray cloth boards underneath are clean with the only issue being some very light edge fade and corner bumps. Internal binding is good and text pages are tight. No hinge issues present. The biggest flaw with the interior of the book is the bottom edge of a few pages in the front has an indentation from a paperclip, the title page and opposite page also has a rust mark from this.… Read More
