About This Item
London, UK: Book Club Associates. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1974. Book Club Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good+ DJ: The Book shows a touch of crimp to the head and heel of the backstrip; the binding leans ever so slightly but remains secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia in the text itself. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing the mildest wear and a minor, unobtrusive imperfection. Not far from 'As New'. The DJ shows mild wear to the head and heel of the backstrip; a short tear and some roughage at the top of the rear 'hinge': a crease about a quarter inch from the bottom of the front panel; unclipped; mylar-protected. Clean and intact but shows mild wear. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.75 x 5.65 x 1.6 inches) . Several duotone portraits of the author precede the text. Translated by Thomas P. Whitney. Language: English. Weight: 29 ounces. Book Club Edition (1974). Hardcover with DJ. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; xii, 660 pages. pages .
