Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP) Signed and Inscribed by the author. The only other signed copy of this book is selling for twice what I'm asking. You can see the covers of the book in the photographs provided. They are very clean and they have little to no wear. The book is square and tight, very solidly bound. The interior is exceptionally clean. I didn't see any soiling. There are some shaded areas on the inside covers and end papers, the consequence of pieces of paper being left there. With the exception of the author's signed inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. Nor are there any markings or attachments. And the pages are in excellent condition, without creasing or dogeared corners. The dust jacket is rated only Good, mainly due to the loss at the top of the spine. There are also, as you can see, tears off the top edge of the front, as well as a few small scuffs. The flaps are in very good condition. The dust jacket is NOT price-clipped. It will be fitted with a protective cover. Robert Gordis was an American leading Conservative rabbi.
