About This Item
Crisp hardcover first edition of a beautiful writing classic. Rare with dust jacket and in incredible shape, name written on endpaper but otherwise unmarked, crisp spine and clean pages.
Priced below every other comparable copy I could find. Photos available on request! I am new to Biblio but have sold books online and in brick and mortar contexts, as well as records, films, and other paper goods/media/ephemera for nearly 20 years, always happy to work with customers and I strive to satisfy no matter what!
