About This Item
U.S.A.: New Directions, 1963. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Fine cloth first edition with brilliant gilt lettering on spine and Near Fine DJ in protective Brodart mylar cover. The volume is flawless. Cloth seems factory fresh, gilt lettering sparkles. No markings, creases, or tears. DJ is classified as only Near Fine due to what I perceive to be minor sun fading on spine (not in the lettering but in the gray background, so imperceptible that I may be wrong about it. But better safe than sorry) and three small chips at the top of the back cover. Not ex lib. Not price clipped. Not remaindered. A pristine collectible. 99 pages.
