Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. A very good copy of the scarce first edition. Binding is tight and the text is pristine: unmarked. Jacket is remarkably fresh, with a few unobtrusive nicks on the front flap fold. There is a 1/2" intact tear on the rear jacket panel at the base of the spine seam. The interior of the jacket is slightly foxed on the rear panel, and this has resulted in some discoloration along the edge of the rear blue cloth binding. Jacket is diagonally clipped at the base of the front flap fold. All in all a stunning copy. Seller Inventory # 000683
