About This Item
Princeton University Press, 1959. Volume 1. Good condition. Binding is tight, text block is clean except for a bookplate on the flyleaf. Volume is structurally sound but both book and DJ are aesthetically challenged. Cloth covers and edges show significant shelf wear and staining; DJ has a small tear at base of spine and shows discoloration, pen marks, staining, and edge wear. DJ not price clipped. A nice, solid, serviceable copy of a classic. Photo is of the copy we have at Barbed Wire Books.
