Condition:
Vintage pre-owned condition. The red cloth hardcover remains solid and presents well overall, with expected shelf/edge wear, rubbing, and some discoloration/wear along the lower board edges and corners.
Binding appears intact and pages are generally clean with normal age toning. There is a small handwritten notation on a front blank/endpaper, as shown in the photos. Page edges have some age-related discoloration/marks.
The original dust jacket is present and shows considerable vintage wear, including creasing, rubbing/scuffing, scratches, edge and corner wear, and areas of wrinkling. The jacket remains complete and displays very well despite the wear.
Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the condition description and show the exact copy you will receive.
A particularly collectible example due to the full a b c d e f g h first-printing letter line and surviving original dust jacket.
