Hardcover. First Edition (1980), so stated. First Edition (1980), so stated. Near Fine in Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use. The Book shows virtually no wear at all, but a short, rubber stamped message at the bottom of the front free endpaper and what appears to be a price at the bottom edge of the text block; the binding remains square and secure; the text is clean. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome, nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing only a couple of very minor flaws. Still very close to 'As New'. The DJ shows faint sunning to the peach-toned background field of the backstrip (the titles thereon remain unaffected, bold and clearly legible); the price has been clipped. Overall, very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.75 x 5.75 x 1.25 inches). 351 pages. Language: English. Weight: 19.7 ounces.
