Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Book Club Edition. Little, Brown, New York, 1963, Book Club Edition (although it states 'First American Edition'). Classic & a great read. Book is As New and unread, however, it has foxing on the top text block & a production error which makes the tops of some pages (188 - 212) ragged. There is light, near invisible spotting on the forward text edge and a line stain on borh boards, otherwise a very tight copy - looks new but with issues listed as Good plus to Very Good minus. Dust jacket is Fine, very very light almost touch of wear at the top/bottom of the spine, no fade here - great dustjacket,comes in a removable, archival, mylar sleeve. Seller Inventory # 002587
