About This Item
Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1986. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0807113344 . First edition in first state/issue/printing Dust Wrapper [relatively flat finish, with $16.95 printed price on the front flap]. 241 pages. A near fine copy with minor edge wear and a small light spot to the page the fore-edge pages in a very good Dust Wrapper with the usual edge rubbing to the relatively fragile first state/issue/printing Dust Wrapper, a 1/2" closed tear at the top of the rear panel, two small light spot stains, and a few small scratches to the rear panel]. That litany of lesser flaws may make the Dust Wrapper sounds worse than it actually is, as aside from those it would be a solid Near Fine example, with no fading to the bright red spine lettering, etc. See Photos LR4/1E

Can Iry avoid the eye of the sherrif and not earn the enmity of the town?

About biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
