Inscribed, "To Michael - A teacher is like a candle, it consumes itself to light the way for others" and signed (Darrell) by the author. Below his signature, the author has written in calligraphic style and in what is presumably Japanese, a brief line that might be his name as represented in that language. Very Good in a Near Fine dust jacket. Bottom corners of boards are bumped. Jacket has mild evidence of handling, no notable flaws.
