Solid first edition of this classic! Complete with dust jacket, first edition stated. DJ has foxing and sunwear, some creasing, not bad but not perfect, hence G rating. Book itself has clean pages, crisp spine, no dogears, nice overall, mild rubbing to boards but overall solid VG+. Ask for photos if needed.

Priced below every other comparable copy I could find. Photos available on request! I am new to Biblio but have sold books online and in brick and mortar contexts, as well as records, films, and other paper goods/media/ephemera for nearly 20 years, always happy to work with customers and I strive to satisfy no matter what!
