About This Item
Buffalo, NY Prometheus Books, 1989. Hardcover First Edition [1989]; probable later printing, but none is indicated. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. Very Good+ to Near Fine in Fine DJ: The Book shows a bit to crimping to the heel of the backstrip and some smudging to the outside edges of the text block; the binding is ever so slightly cocked off square, but remains perfectly secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing the very mildest wear and minor, unobtrusive flaws. Bright and Clean. Corners sharp. Close to "As New". The DJ is flawless; unclipped; mylar-protected. As New. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (9.35 x 6.35 x 1.5 inches). 447 pages. Language: English. Weight: 32.5 ounces. First Edition [1989]; probable later printing, but none is indicated and No number line provided. Hardback with DJ. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
