Near Fine in Very Good DJ: The Book shows a hint of shelf-soiling to the bottom edge of the text block; some crimping to the heel of the backstrip; the blue-tinted top edge is lightly blanched in spots; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing unobtrusive flaws. Very close to 'As New'. The DJ shows scant loss to tiny chips at the head and heel of the backstrip; several tiny closed tears and a short closed tear at the top of the front hinge; mild rubbing to the panels; the price is unclipped; mylar-protected. Attractive, but shows light wear. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (9.65 x 6.65 x 2.15 inches). 526 pages. Language: English. Weight: 37 ounces. Hardback with DJ.
