About This Item
First edition hardcover with dust jacket, published by Tor, 1989. The second book in the 'Latro In The Mist' series. Our forgetful hero journeys through ancient Greece, hoping to one day regain his short-term memory. 354 pages, 5-3/4" X 8-1/2". The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. Original price of $17.95 is printed on the top corner of the front flap. Sturdy black cloth covered hard cover boards, with the title and author name in gold on the spine. Cover boards are flat, no edge wear to the cover. Dust jacket has one small drop of a stain mark on the bottom edge of the back panel - about 3/4" across and 1/4" wide at the bottom left. Looks like a single drop of coffee - photo attached. That stain only affects the dust jacket not the book itself. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. Edges of the text block are clean. Not a remainder copy, not a library discard copy.
