Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First edition, stated, of author's first book. Harrison went on to a long and successful career following this publication. A nice overall copy of the paperback, simultaneously published with the cloth editon. From the home of a tobacco smoker so there is some requisite toning to wraps and a very faint odor for the overly sensitive, however it is not so apparent unless you were previously told. Spine is slightly darkened and cover toning mostly at the edges. Otherwise only issue is a teeny and hardly noticeable thumb indent at the foredge of the front wrap, otherwise some other very faint shelfwear, but hardly so, and now protected in mylar. Interior is clean and free of marks, still bright and fresh. Binding is solid and sound. Seller Inventory # ABE-1708631034266
