Full beige cloth binding under red pictorial dust jacket, 8-1/2" x 5-3/4", 409 pp. Only real flaw to book is sticker pull to front endpaper; minor toning to endpapers; light edgewear & rubbing to DJ. Overall, a tight, square copy that presents very well. Basso's best-selling (40 weeks on the bestseller list) novel. "Its tale of a lawyer defending a black man is a direct precursor of, almost certainly a model for, To Kill a Mockingbird." (James Sallis.)
