About This Item
New Jersey: Prentice Hall Inc., 1966. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Near Fine cloth first edition with gilt lettering on spine and Very Good DJ. Spine is straight and tight, all corners sharp, gilt lettering and decoration brilliant. No markings or tears. I considered classifying the book as Fine, but the pages are slightly age toned and there seems to be a running crease on the pages where perhaps a cluster of about 50 pages may have been bent under for some time, thus leaving a visible impression. DJ is clipped on top front flap and has chipping and wear to top and bottom and mild age toning but no tears. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. 219 pages.
