First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Stated 'First Edition, 1981.' This is another book of mine that was previously owned by the author of Fear of Flying, Erica Jong. She flat-signed her full name on the blank front end paper. This is a bilingual edition. It is in very nice condition. You can see the covers in the photos. There is only light wear, a teeny tiny spot of color loss at the front top corner, a little crease the front bottom corner, a very thin crease on the spine, and tiny creases at the two rear corners. The book is quite thick, 415 pages total. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in excellent condition. The pages are exceptionally clean. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any soiling at all. The pages are also nicely bright. I'm not finding any significant creasing. There are no placeholder creases. A small number of early pages have a tiny crease just above the tips of their bottom corners. A small number of late pages also have very tiny creases below or above their corner tips. There are no tears. There are no markings of any kind. No attachments. And Ms. Jong's signature represents the only writing be found anywhere in the book. Signed.
