New York, NY Farrar, Straus & Giroux: Noonday Press, 1962. Paperback First Edition Thus (1962); First Printing, so stated. First Edition Thus (1962); First Printing, so stated. Very Good- in Wraps: shows indications of careful use: a scuffed area (perhaps insect damage) to the lower backstrip (does not affect the titles thereon); slight spine lean; light wear to the extremities; considerable rubbing to the wrapper covers; faint soiling to the white background field of the rear panel; the binding is secure (the binding is sewn rather than simply glued); the text pages have tanned somewhat, due to aging, but remain clean. Former owner's name neatly printed at the upper corner of the front endpaper. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting, marginalia or marks in the text. A solid used copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing moderate wear and minor cosmetic flaws. Clearly this is a flawed copy, but if one can overlook the pen work, remains structurally sound and tightly bound: a clean, sturdy, presentable reading copy. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8 x 5.5 x 0.8 inches). x, 275 pages. Language: English. Weight: 11.4 ounces. Trade Paperback.
