First editions, stated first printings of the Popular Edition, dated either 1957 or 1958. No previous ownership marks.

All books are clean, tight and unmarked. Dust-jackets are intact and moderately worn, but complete.

Store description

We are a generalist bookseller who has been selling online since 2003. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best books at the best prices. As a used and antiquarian seller all of our copies are unique and our stock is limited by our ability to source new material from a variety of venues. We strive to describe our books as accurately as possible and have embarked on a policy of adding at least one photograph for each new listing added. Older entries in our database may not include a picture, if this is so please request one and we will gladly send it to you via email.
