Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Probably the second printing as the date of publication 1947 does not appear on the title page. If it did appear on the title page, it would indicate a first edition. No date other than 1947 appears on the copyright page. Red cloth binding is a bit age-dulled, but shows little wear. No slope, no twist, no distortion from reading or improper shelving. Pages are tight and clean with no marks. No broken hinges. Name in ink on the verso of the photo frontispiece of Patton. No musty odor. No tobacco odor. No water stains. No soiling. The dust jacket priced at $3.75 (not clipped) shows edge wear, light edge chipping. Spine is sun faded. DJ now in an archival protector to prevent further damage.
