Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Yale University Press, New Haven, 1985. Hardcover. First Edition(Number Line to 1). Signed and inscribed by both Thornton Wilder's sister Isabel(who wrote the foreword) and by the editor Donald Gallup in the year of publication. 354 pages. Near Fine/very Good. No soiling on the covers. Very solidly bound. No issues there. Corners are fine. Spine ends are very good, there's a little softness/ bending at the tips. The page edges are very clean. The interior pages are very clean and white. No soiling, no wring, no markings, no creases. The DJ is rated Very Good. I think it presents well but there are minor issues. They are 1) a rubbing/scuffing that creates white spots and areas where the DJ color should be. Most of it is on the corner edges and the middle edges and the spine ends 2)tiny, tiny tears on the corners, and 3) a little darkening at the edges of the top and bottom rear flap. Look at all the photos. Zooming in is a good idea. You should come away with a clear picture of the book's condition. The DJ will be fitted with a protective cover after the book is scanned.
