About This Item
Random House, 1957. Hardcover. Acceptable. Hardcover. Poor. DJ is soiled, faded, rubbed, chipped and scraped, with small tears to upper edges. The flaps are yellowed. Lime green cloth covered boards are faded on edges, with brown spots on lower board edges. Dented tips. Mashed spine ends. Front paste down has come away from hinge and curls upward, revealing binding cloth. Yellowed paste downs and end pages. Full disclosure: the rear pastedown reveals signs of being exposed to moisture, with possible light mildew towards hinge. Thus the grading of poor. Binding is in nice shape. 143 pp.
