First Edition Thus [1976]; so stated. First Printint Indicated by a complete alphabetical sequence. Very Good+ to Near Fine in Wraps: shows the faintest stress crease to the backstrip; a price has been neatly removed from the upper corner of the front free endpaper; the beige background field of the backstrip has been ever-so-slightly sunned, but the titles thereon remain unaffected: bold and clearly legible; several tiny spots and flecks of foxing to the top edge of the text block; the expected light tanning to the text pages due to aging; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creases to the panels. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing minor imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Not so very far from 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8 x 5.35 x 0.65 inches). 220 pages. Language: English. Weight: 9 ounces. A Harvest Book: HB 328. Trade Paperback.
