Very good, first edition book in very good dust jacket. Inscribed by the author on the FFEP. Blue and tan grainy paper on boards, black cloth on spine. Small round publisher's logo in gilt on front panel; lettering in light tan on spine. Age toning and light foxing on upper and side outer edges. Small amount of foxing on end papers. Text pages are lightly age-toned, else clean. Shadow transfer to verso of page after text, stating print type and format. Text block is sound.
Dust jacket is scuffed and lightly soiled overall; the lower 1 1/4" at tail of spine is stained. Inside flaps have faint fox-like stains overall. Spine and fore-edges are sunned. Fore-edge and spine folds are creased and scuffed, but not rubbed through except along the upper and lower edges and corners at head and tail of spine; upper and lower edges at head and tail of spine are chipped across the width of up to 1/8", and with loss on front and back corners of up to up to 3/8". Fore-edge corners are rubbed, more so on the upper corners with loss of 3/16" or less. Not price clipped.
