About This Item

Brick red cover with gilt print on the spine, shows mild wear at the corners and edges of the spine. The rather plain dust jacket has a couple of small tears and is worn at the corners. The deckle-edged pages are clean and tight. With the date on the title page and the words "First edition - 1966" on the copyright page, I'd go with that, except the dust jacket says, "Book Club Edition". Now I'm just confused, so I shall say nothing more about it. You be the judge. This book will ship at over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

Opened August 1st of 2022, Turtleman Used Books in Olympia, WA. Address is 108 22nd Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98501. Suite #4. This is a small shop, so some books may only be displayed online, others only displayed in the store. Come on by if you are in town. Closed Monday and Tuesday.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily. Check back frequently to see what's new. -----
