Karl Beckson and Arthur Ganz, A Reader's Guide to Literary Terms: A Dictionary. Hardcover, Farrar, Straus and Cudahy — an imprint that published only between 1959 and 1964, so this is an early hardcover printing of the book (first published 1960). Exact printing/date is not stated on the title or copyright page as photographed. No dust jacket present. Condition: one page in the text has underlining. The front interior has a prior owner's address and name sticker that could not be fully removed; the address portion has been obscured with blue pen, while the name remains partly visible beneath it. A green permanent-marker ownership notation reading "G Gibson" appears at the top of the front interior. No other defects were found during inspection.
