About This Item
NY: Farrar, Straus, Giroux, (1969). Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. F. First Edition. Octavo, black cloth covered boards. 535pp. A very fresh, tight and apparently unread volume in a crisp, price-clipped dust jacket, with one short closed tear, small price sticker shadow on rear panel and very slight toning and dusting. This sounds like a catalogue of defects, but they are all quite slight and the dust jacket is actually very attractive and very good plus to near fine. Fine in very good plus dust jacket..
