Very Good+ with light mottling to cloth and two small pen marks, git inscription on paste down, hinge starting at front, a few light stains to endpapers (probably offsetting). A posthumously-published volume of the journals and letters of Everett Ruess, a solo explorer and writer who famously disappeared in the Utah wilderness in 1934.
