Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. No Dust Jacket. Limited Edition. Number 490 of a printing of 1250 copes, numbered on copyright page. Introduction by Kenneth Roberts, Illustrations by Churchill Ettinger. Bound in green cloth boards with tan buckram spine, gilt stamped title on cover; gilt-stamped title on green leather spine-la…bel. It is my understanding that this title was published with a slipcase, lacking here, though a clear plastic wrapper has protected this copy very well, with some toning to the wrapper, and a small chip missing from top edge of front panel though the book (especially the leather spine-label) is in excellent condition. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 240 pages. Illustrated by Churchill Ettinger (illustrator).
