About This Item
New York: P. J. Kenedy & Sons, 1958. First American Edition . Hardcover. Fair/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. viii, 280pp. Ex-library. Several minor dings to extremities of covers, with light to medium but inoffensive wear in places on exterior. Some wear and light soiling to edges of mildly tanned pages, with no writing to text. Front hinge cracked, though text block remains square and binding largely firm, though a little shaken. Price-clipped dust-jacket admits to light wear and soiling and some sunning, though all lettering remains perfectly bright and easy to read. Jacket is attached to paste-down endpapers with tape. A good working copy
