Lord John Press, 1979-06-01. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. No 39 of first 300 copies printed and signed by author. The only real flaw in this copy is that someone had a cup of coffee while reading it. There's an old stain on the bottom right half of the front that extends to the bottom back of the cover. How the book survived unscathed at all is a miracle. The dustcover is also showing small edge wear and a small tear at the bottom back near the stain. The hardcover boards are showing minimal edge and corner wear. Spine is not softened or showing any wear. Gold embossed title on spine is showing minimal to no wear. Hinges are in like new condition. Pages have a number of tiny brown spots along top edge, and while it's clearly not liquid damage there is a faint ripple to the pages, which are otherwise unmarked or folded
