About This Item
New York: Doubleday and Company. 1971. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Publisher's review copy, with the review slip loosely laid in. Original black cloth with titles to the spine in blue and gilt, in dustwrapper. Map endpapers. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm, the corners lightly bumped, the spine tips a little rubbed. The contents, with some light spotting at the closed text block edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper that remains without loss or tears. Not price-clipped ($6.95 on the front flap). A well regarded history of the fall of Rome by R. A. Lafferty who is perhaps best known for his novels and short stories, particularly his science fiction. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
