About This Item
First UK Edition; Fine in a fine dust jacket. A Travis McGee mystery. This copy is in fine condition with a crisp, tight binding (apparently unread), bright lettering on the spine, and bold, white pages; only some very minor foxing to the top edge text block and trivial shelf wear to the bottom spine end. Housed in a pristine dust jacket that shows only faint shelf wear at the top edge and corners. Not price clipped, not remaindered, not ex-library. A beautiful copy protected in a mylar cover.
