The unclipped dust jacket, sleeved in mylar, has a moderately sunned spine, is chipped along the edges (to include a 1/2" x 5/8" piece on the top edge of the rear panel near the flap fold), and has light soiling and handling wear (most noticable on the rear panel).
Reviews
On Jan 8 2013, DJO said:
The introduction is very interesting, and necessary to fully enjoy the main story. The added on "part two - Letter of the Recording Angel" is only 4 pages long, but is in my opinion much more fun to read than the main body of the book. I was waylaying my roommates, calling my parents, and otherwise buttonholing everyone within arm's reach in order to share this treasure.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
