About This Item
New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, 1966. Hardcover with price clipped dust jacket, xi + 271 pages, plus black-and-white photographs and endpaper maps; very gently used ex-library copy with not a trace of shelf wear, tape residue on both covers, large rubber stamp on half title page, cataloguing details in ink on copyright page, card pocket secured to last blank page, but tight in binding, text pages very clean and unmarked; DJ in original removable mylar protector; I took it out for a look see: the bright yellow front panel is sun faded to white on the spine which also has the ghost of the library spine label, there is a knife-cut to the front panel from top, several other tiny tears, and looks better out of the mylar, but I'll leave that for you to decide.
