First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Acceptable. Dust Jacket Condition: no dust jacket present. First Edition. This first edition is in fair condition, with notable wear on the spine and cover edges. The binding shows signs of stress, and the book lacks a dust jacket. The book is an ex-library copy, with typical markings and stamps, but the pages remain intact and legible. Ideal for collectors who value historical significance over cosmetic perfection.
