NY: Fordham, 1969. 1st Edition NAP . Hardcover. Good+/Good+. Heck of a nice copy, shame to give it a low grade but feel the full description may be informative. Owners stamped name and note verso first end sheet. Odd half inch mark next to sub-title, title page, mild, small. The body of the text has a mild overall swale, a bindery issue I think as the book was well stored by a noted local Faulknerian academic and I can not conceive of another explanation, surely not moisture. Boards just perfect, unbumped, clean, gray/blue with perfect spine. There are perhaps a dozen or more neat ball point underlinings, Binding utterly tight. Jacket is price clipped, not sun faded, short tears and edge wear., looks splendid in mylar wrapper. All this said, the book looks great on the shelf and is clean and tight.

It is, according to the note appearing on the first masthead bound in sheep at spine and tips, the balance being marble paper boards.
