Hardcover edition with dust jacket, published by Knopf, 1984. This is a book club edition from 1984. The dust jacket is intact and has been protected with a clear, removable cover. This is the edition with the iconic Albrecht Durer etching on the front cover. The jacket cover had been taped to the boards with thin strips of masking tape - the tape is still attached to the front board - they are missing from the back board but have left residue from the adhesive on the the boards. Jacket just shows some edge wear creases to the head and heel of the spine and at the tips of the corners, and a small closed tear of about 1/8 inch at the top edge of the back panel. Purple colored cloth covered boards show some fading along the edges, but no edge wear. The greenish-blue topstain shows fading. Rough edged text block shows foxing spots. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. This is not a remainder, not a library discard. Attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
