Preface Marjorie Dippel Sharp (1 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. First Edition (SD). Signed and inscribed by the author on the blank front end paper: 'To Grace Fox, with the warm regards of A Schmuller.' The red covers are clean. The gilt lettering on both the front and spine is bright. There is a thin crease right below the front top corner. The cover edges are in very good shape, no rubbing. The cover corners are in solid shape, the two bottom ones have a speck of superficial rubbing. The page edges look good. The binding of the pages is solid throughout. The covers as well. The pages are very clean. There is one small tan spot on the signed page and one small spot on the blank rear end paper. The inside covers are clean. I'm not seeing any creasing in the book. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And the author's signed inscription represents the only writing to be found anywhere. You can see the pink dust jacket in the first few photos. The spine is toned to tan. There's also toning off the top edges of the front and rear, and on the rear cover just adjacent to the spine. There is a spot on the rear cover/spine. There is a fairly small tear off the top edge at the juncture between the front cover and spine. There are two similar tears off the bottom edge of the spine. There's a little loss at both spine ends. There are also the losses you can see on the spine. The flaps are in very solid shape, also pink. They are clean. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. I have it in a fitted protective cover. Inscribed by Author(s).
