About This Item
Toronto Montreal New York: McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 1974. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Veronica Fosbery (dust jacket illustration). First printing, with number line including "1". Octavo format in dark green cloth, no owner's marks, no bumping or wear to text. Dust jacket is not clipped (no price shown). The dust jacket has some mild wear to the head and foot of spine, with very slight loss. There is also a repaired tear to the dj about 4cm long. The US edition has a price on the front flap, while Canadian books are often published without a dj price. This appears to be a first Canadian printing of the book.
