Rare Complete Jacket (3 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Unusual to find this in a complete unclipped jacket, and quite rare to find this book in any state at all. It is being a bit mean to describe this as just Very Good. It is, when you take age into consideration, probably more accurate to grade it Near Fine, and the book itself is also in that category. There is a former owner's discrete signature on the front end paper, and the top of the text block is a bit dust blown. The subject of the book is a look at suburban America and its sexual preoccupations. It does this in a witty, well written, way. It is also, at times, almost a serious social report. It is revealing of attitudes of the time, and we are talking about the cusp of the 50s and 60s, so things were different then. Read on, especially if you found the Kinsey Report a bit clinical. Text block is tanning on the edges, which is common with this book. 0.0 0.0 0.0.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A great copy, with the rare jacket in a fine condition, without damage and not price clipped, and now protected. Title page has a former owner name - Paul Frederick Granville-Barker. This why the price for this superb copy is so reasonable.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. VERY scarce in a complete jacket. A classic mystery, with long corridors, full moon monsters and the cracking of whips. Goodchild enjoyed great success with his Jack O' Lantern books, but this is brilliant. Okay, it is a pulp fiction, printed on rather thick paper, but despite showing its age a bit it is without owner names or library abuses. The protected jacket has some minor creases and chips but it is now safely covered in mylar.
