Description:
Doubleday, 1967. Hardcover. Very Good. 1966 hardcover with dust jacket protected by a Brodart jacket cover. Has perhaps never been read. Unmarked pages and firm binding. Jacket is shelf-rubbed and shows some edge wear, but no tears. This is NOT an ex-library book, not a remainder, and not corner-clipped (still retains the original 1966 cover price on the front jacket flap). A very good, sturdy, useful copy.
