First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Scott Maclain (illustrator). 1st Edition. Ex-library book (discard); it looks like it once had a library pocket affixed to the inside of the back cover, but it was removed leaving a bit of surface tearing where the pocket was located. Has several library stamps and stickers. The upper left corner of the front cover has been damaged - part of the cover was scuffed off, leaving some soft fibers (see pictures). There is a name stamped on the inside of the front and back covers. There is a signature on the title page, which matches the name of the author (see pictures -- do not know the history of the signature). Otherwise, there is no writing or highlighting on the pages, with the exception of the library markings. First Edition, as stated on the copyright page (see pictures). Good reading copy if you don't mind ex-library books and the damage to the cover. See pictures for more details.
