Inked name and date below authorial inscription on front free end paper, some black stain to edge of free end papers and to lower edges of covers, likely from an older jacket protector, otherwise a nearly fine copy in a bright, nearly fine dust jacket with a tiny closed tear to the upper front panel and stress creases to the spine panel.
