About this Item

Stated First Edition. Flat-signed by the author at the top of the half-title page. You can see the covers in the photos. There is perhaps a little toning, not really any soiling. The purple lettering on the spine is bright. The edges and corners are very solid. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. They did a very good job. The spine has a forward lean, but the book is decently bound. I didn't see any cracks or spaces between any of the facing pages or between the covers and any of the pages. The pages are generally quite clean. There is a light bit of spotting just off the top edge of the front inside cover. I found one page that had three small light stains, two of them on the print (though not affecting one's ability to read) and three pages that each had one small tan spot off their top edge, not reaching the print. I didn't see any other soiling. There is a crease at the bottom corner of the half-title page, title page, and the following dedication page. I didn't see any other creasing. Beside the author's signature, there is a penned name (Achhnsen) just off the bottom edge of the dedication page. There is no other writing. If you can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. Just off the top edge of the spine there is a small area where the black color has been enlightened either by rubbing or possibly soiling. The jacket is in otherwise rather my shape. There are no tears. The flaps are very clean and free of wear. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned.
