Sobre este artículo
New York: Grove Press, 1964. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. A very acceptable copy - first issue with price of 3.95 at the front flap and no printing statement at colophon. Blue cloth with white titles at the backstrip, lower corners bumped, rubbing and slight grubbiness to top corners. Spine tips creased - crushed at crown. Minor marks to covers. Off-setting to both pastedowns. Binding firm and square, the block has toned with age. The dustjacket is unclipped with small wear to the spine tips, tiny nick to the crown. The protected jacket is also tanned. Much better than it probably sounds but not a Fine copy, obviously. Still VG, however, and the dustwrapper Near Fine.
