Avon Books, New York., 1955. First Avon Edition.. Softcover.. Fair/--. Paperback.. NON SMOKING STORE. My listing includes PHOTO OF ACTUAL BOOK for sale. Book Interior FAIR to Poor / Covers Fair. Covers are black/white, lettering white/red, photo front courtesy of Wide World Photos. Spine is a bit cocked and lumpy due to glue drying out and cracking, also has a crack across it making a rip in the paper 1/2 inch onto back, 1/2 inch across spine and 1/2 inch onto front cover. Covers and spine are flat, clean, no rips, two old bent corners, two vertical creases on spine, colour chipped off edges of spine in places, front cover has signs of old creases from handling, also little chips of colour off in many places due to age and shelf wear but front cover is whole, solid and legible. Back cover has some rubbing of the colour near the spine and the white is a bit shelf soiled, book has minor edge wear including small chips at top of spine. Page edges sunned. Inside of book is clean, clear, flat. Quite a bit of age darkening inside covers and on pages. No dog ears. Binding is completely broken at page 104-105 but no pages are missing. Pages 105 to 142 are in original glue bound together but this set of pages is loose from the book. Pages 143 to 216 is the same - the original glue is holding all the pages together in a set. Pages 217 to end of book are secure in the book. The spine is visible and the glue is dark brown. Despite all this, no pages are missing and all are legible, none are ripped, or damaged.
