About This Item
New York: Dutton, 1961. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Dutton, 1961, New York. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 1st Edition/1st Printing. The book would be fine except for moderate shelf wear on the bottom of the boards especially at the heel and tips. Spine is tight but has slight lean, boards are stiff and tips are pointed. Nice clean text block and endpapers are free of marks. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper. The dust jacket is not price clipped and is still nice and glossy however there is some slight fray and chipping around edges, especially at tips and spine, a couple of tiny closed tears and a 1/2"x 1/2" white spot on spine. Now looks as handsome it's shiny mylar archival cover..
