Sobre este artículo
Alfred A. Knopf, 1965. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/Fair. 327 pages. Collection of book reviews, essays, reminiscences and parodies, first published in 1955-65. Includes "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu", on Ted Williams. 8vo, yellow cloth with usual Knopf gilt lettering, top edge tinted brown, unusually heavy foxing to boards, soil to their exposed edges, only faint foxing to text-block edges, minimal shelf wear, in unclipped, age-toned DJ with 1" tear in front panel at top, raggedy along crown, normal shelf wear to bottom, light foxing to interior. "Good" rating is a compromise between the foxed boards and the mostly clean pages - only one margin bracket in pencil observed, and a tiny pencil note on rfep.
