About this Item

Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Fully bound in orange cloth. Both the spine and the front board are silver-stamped. Yellow topstain. 206pps. Mild rubbing to the spine-ends. Also, there is a faint, almost indiscernible lean to the spine. Otherwise clean, tight, and bright. All tips are sharp. No reading wear or previous owner's markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of rubbing; no chips, sunning, or tears. The original price is intact. A very nice copy. ".From Henry Bech's own foreword: Dear John, you are right. This monotonous hero who disembarks from an airplane, mouths words he doesn't quite mean, has vaguely to do with some woman, and gets back on the airplane, is certainly one Henry Bech. Until your short yet not unlongish collection, no revolutionary has concerned himself with our oppression, with the silken mechanism whereby America reduces her writers to imbecility and cozenage." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Money back guarantee. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books.
