A stated second printing, this book is in excellent condition. The head and heel of the spine are lightly bumps and there are two thin, shallow scratches at the top of the front panel (see photo). There is a 1951 inscription on the FFEP--that is the only flaw in the interior; the decorated end pages are wonderfully evocative. The price-clipped jacket has a short tear at the lower front gutter and small chips at the head and heel of the spine (see photo). Seller Inventory # BMR-2019-2-28-6
