About This Item
Publisher's blue cloth with spine lettering gilt, octavo, pp. viii, 191. Previous owner or dealer has erased an old price and a two-line passage from the free front end-paper and inserted a new code in ink (in a small hand, thankfully). Foot of spine bumped and rubbed through. Light foxing top edge. Old tide marks at bottom of fore-edge, confined to fore-edge, no interior marginal intrusion. GOOD condition withal. Dust jacket a bit weary from pre-mylar days with loss at foot of spine and an old tea-like stain at bottom of rear panel. Publisher's price snipped out a little awkwardly on front flap. Jacket protected now from further wear by a new sheet of archival Brodart.
