Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. 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 hint of wear. Virtually 'As New'. The DJ shows three short, closed tears along the top edge of the panels: a finger-nail indentation along the front gutter; some faint smudges and soiling to the cream-toned background field of the rear panel; unclipped. Flawed, but remains relatively clean and attractive. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (9.3 x 6.3 x 0.8 inches). ix, 165 pages. Illustrated with Duotone Drawings by Arminta Neal.
