About This Item
New York, NY Simon & Schuster, 1999. Hardcover First Edition (1999); First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, CONRAD ANKER. First Edition (1999); First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. Very Near Fine in Very Near Fine DJ: The Book shows just a hint of a nudge at the top of the front hinge and a tiny, very faint smudge at the bottom edge of the text block; mild shelf-rubbing to the bottom edges near the corner tips; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of any 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 a couple of very minor imperfections. Close to 'As New'. The DJ shows only the very mildest rubbing and superficial wrinkling at the top of the front hinge and head of the backstrip; the price is unclipped. Attractive and intact. Not at all far from "As New". NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.8 x 5.8 x 0.85 inches). 191 pages. Index. Eight-page section of duotone photographs. Maps and other duotone illustrations. Language: English. Weight: 14 ounces. Original brown quarter and grey boards with silver titles at the backstrip. Hardback with DJ. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
