Mass Market Paperback. First Edition Thus (1982), First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. Very Good+ to Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; three small areas of scuffing to the front panel and a tiny scuff at the lower rear panel, where a price sticker has been removed; a very fine crease along the front hinge; the text pages have tanned slightly, due to aging; else only mild rubbing and the faintest sunning to the crimson background field of the backstrip (the black titles thereon are unaffected: bold and clearly legible). The binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels.
