About This Item
New York: Viking Press, 1962. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. From an auction of modern first editions with the auction tag laid into the book--a near fine copy in a very good unclipped dustjacket--this copy is signed by the author, signature only, on the half title page. First edition--second issue with the photos at the front and rear-correctly. A little dustiness to the page edges and light toning or would be fine. The dustjacket is complete with shallow edgewear to the head and heel of the spine and tips and some mild rubbing to the panels--a nice collectible copy.
