Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. First Edition (SD). I believe this was also the only edition. This is an extremely rare book. I couldn't find another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. I've rated its condition only Fair due to several issues. There are positives as well and I'll allude to both the strengths and weaknesses. You can see the covers in the first three photographs. There is loss of color and there is sporadic soiling. There's also a tear on the spine and there is loss at both the spine ends. The black lettering on the front cover is quite solid. There doesn't appear to have been any lettering on the spine. There is rub through at the corners and a little bit more on the bottom edges. The book is square. It is not cocked. Opening up the book, the first blank front end paper is nearly detached, just a little bit is binding it to the top. The second blank front end paper is detached. There's also a two-page Index that is detached and separate. It may have been typed. I'm not sure. The print is different from the book. The Index references the Preface, the Introduction, a Poem by Grace Aguilar titled What Is God? After that comes Part I which has 14 sections and then Part II which has 6 sections. That's followed by the Appendix which has 11 sections. Getting back to the book, after the index comes the title page. There is no crack, as far as I can see between the inside cover and the title page and there is no crack or space between the rear inside cover and rear end paper. The pages of the text are bound by twine in four different places. A gathering of pages (27-46)is cleanly detached. One of the photographs shows pages 26 & 27. The pages before and after those seem to be bound more securely, but I would make no promise about how well they would handle use. There are 112 numbered pages, followed by two blank rear end papers. The only other issue I would reference is instances of old small water stain marks on the blank margins of some of the pages (see photos). I saw three or four consecutive pages that also had some soiling (or perhaps just a little larger area of water staining) off their top edge. But almost all of the pages are quite clean. I saw only one very tiny tear off the middle edge of a page in the text. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. Nor are there any markings or attachments. This is NOT an ex-library book. Finally, I didn't see much in the way of creases or dogeared corners. That should give you a pretty good idea of the condition. Take a look at the photographs.
