Item description from seller

8vo., 201pp. Solid Stated First Edition. Preface by Yul Brynner. Square and tight with a touch of offsetting and spotting to end-papers but little if any page toning. Spine ends a bit soft. Little wear. Attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($3.00), has mild wear to extremities but is fresh and bright with no chipping, creases, or tears. Though not marked in any way, this came directly from the library of H. Lawrence Hoffman who illustrated the dust-jacket. His son, David Hoffman, the noted documentary filmmaker, has signed a statement with information about his father, the artist, and attesting that the book was from his library. A copy of this is included. A pretty collectable copy of a surprisingly uncommon title in such nice condition.
