About This Item
First hardback edition (48K gutter code on page 309, as per Levack), a
Fine- copy with slight bend at head and heel and a trace of blunting
to points, in a Very Good dust jacket with significant rubbing of back
cover, along folds and at points; far from a perfect copy, but a bit
better than it's usually found these days, and copies seem to have
gradually "aged out" of used bookstores. Short story collection. $25.
