About This Item
First edition. The black fabric cover shows little wear, other than a small gouge to the rear edge of the spine, near the middle (see the arrow in photo #2). Owner's bookplate sticker inside the front cover. The main issue for this book involves the deckle-edged pages. While the pages are tight, clean and unmarked, the red-dyed top edges were once exposed to a small amount of water. This has left the tops of those last two thirds of the pages a little wavy and has carried down the red dye between 2 and 8 mm from the top edge. You can see the affected area in photo #4 and the effect it had on the pages in photo #5. This is a rare book, and I would have asked over $50 without this water issue. I have cut about a third off the price due to this damage.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost.
