Near fine condition (very minor edgewear; contents clean and tight); some fading edges (spine more heavily faded; few short tears & a few very tiny chips) d/j. "142" in crayon on the front cover of the d/j- issued thus. Copies of this title are around but copies in nice, original dust jackets are not.
