Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Advance Reader Copy (ARC) in trade paper binding. I have used the first edition's ISBN in this listing to aid discovery, but this is NOT a hardcover book, it is an 8.5"x5.5" trade paper pre-publication edition. On its cover is printed "TENTATIVE PUBLICATION:" then in black felt-tip pen is a blacked-out date and hand-written "6/91". This ARC is in otherwise near fine condition, marred only by traces of wear on the edges of its trade paper covers. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are otherwise unmarked and unworn. Pages are unmarked and unworn. No dust jacket, of course. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.
