Pages clean, unmarked, binding tight. Covers, spine, page edges, and extremities with a very little general wear except bottom right corner of front cover wich has 3 creases.

None of these characters breaks the mold of conventional black portraiture in postbellum southern fiction more forcefully than Dan, a mulatto slave, written in 1896.
