About This Item
New York: Morehouse-Gorham Co., 1956. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Near Fine cloth second printing of first edition (stated) SIGNED by author on half-title page with black lettering on spine and Near Fine DJ. Binding is straight and tight, all corners sharp, lettering crisp and clear. I classify this book as Near Fine rather than Fine only due to foxing of front and rear end papers (only to endpapers, nowhere else) and uniform mild age toning to all pages commensurate with age. DJ shows edgewear and chipping along top and bottom, two closed tears at bottom of front cover (1/2 inch each), minor sun-fading to spine of DJ. No markings, creases, or tears. Not ex lib, not clipped, no remainder marks. 184 pages.
