About This Item
Nortex Press, 1991-01-01. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Signed. Inscribed (to a high school classmate?) and SIGNED by Jack Maguire on the title page. The volume has a bit of edge rubbing and the spine is lightly canted. The price clipped dust jacket, sleeved in mylar, has a shallow chip, some closed tears and some wrinkling (each with a thin piece of reinforcing tape on the verso of the jacket). The jacket, with the author's last name misspelled as Maquire still presents well. This is an oversized book. Priority and international mailings will require additional postage.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
