Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First U.S. edition, but an ex-library copy with the usual treatments and so more a reading copy than a collectible. In addition to ex-library markings, there is an bookplate on the front paste-down, the free front end paper is missing, and at least a couple of pages have penciled markings. The contents are also a bit age tanned but remain fully legible, otherwise complete, and securely bound. The dust jacket is in a clear jacket cover that has been taped to the paste-downs.
