The first jackets would have been originally printed with either a higher or lower price and the publisher decided (probably just before publication) to change it, hence the common clip and reprice. The book is very good plus, with clean covers slightly faded along the lower edge, a short name on the front pastedown under the flap and a tiny bit of foxing at the upper corner of the front end page. Five pages are missing the red topstain (manufacturing defect).

There is a shallow crease on the front flap and a bit of wear to the lower spine tip. It looks decent under mylar and is priced taking into account the defects. Seller Inventory # 5041
