About 6 1/2 x 91/2 inches, 431 pages bound in blue paper-covered boards with brown backstrip and gold lettering on spine.The dustjacket's front panel shows "Larry" in white lettering and 'McMurtry" in black with title in black lettering. Back panel contains five blurbs praising first two volumes in series.A tiny, almost unnoticeable dent at upper end of front panel backstrip and two pages with small corner creases, o/w boards and text are clean, complete and unmarked. Dj shows only very slight rubbing and edgewear. Not price-clipped, no creasing, tearing or bumping. In spite of very minor flaws, this remains a collectable copy.
