About This Item
Brick red cover with gilt print on the spine, shows mild wear at the corners and edges of the spine. The rather plain dust jacket has a couple of small tears and is worn at the corners. The deckle-edged pages are clean and tight. With the date on the title page and the words "First edition - 1966" on the copyright page, I'd go with that, except the dust jacket says, "Book Club Edition". Now I'm just confused, so I shall say nothing more about it. You be the judge. This book will ship at over two pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily.
