See photos for condition details. Beautiful red embossed boards with ivory lettering. Boards are bright as the day they were new though rear hinge has some spotting in the gutter. Pages are clean with no signatures or bookplates although front end page shows light residue from a previous price penciled in the upper corner. There is some foxing on rear end paper caused by reaction with the dust jacket. DJ spine faded quite a bit and all edges frayed/chipped with some tape marks on the back side. Very rare to see one still with the dust jacket, which has been placed in a protective sleeve.

Store description
Yesterday's Book Shop is a small, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in Maryland in 1966 under the name The Collector's Corner, which mainly dealt in older books, stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the main focus became only books and printed matter.
