New York: Vintage Books, A Division of Random House, 1961. Mass Market Paperback. xx, 354p., softbound in 7x4 inch mass market wraps decorated with an Edward Gorey cover drawing in coiors (not one of the great ones, to be honest). An almost perfectly preserved, unmolested copy nearly sixty years old. The toning of all paperstock is very noticible but fragility is not a problem. Cover is slightly rubbed, slightly edgeworn, but no reader's creasing, no structural flaws, entirely clean and unmarked. Concerns two generations of "Nihilists" (whether actually so or not), their lives fictionalized, evidently the same field Turgenev's novel Father & Sons was plowing, because Tucker says that the real deal people considered F&S a "caricature" Vintage Russian Library.
