Original dust wrapper had been previously taped down to another 1st edition we purchased and we swapped it on this book so to have the nicest signed copy we can offer and it will keep the book in its current condition which is more than suitable for gift giving or the collector's shelf. The jacket is darkened on spine and around periphery. There is a scratch on the rear panel that doesn't affect the "Word from the Author" that is printed there. Jacket is unclipped ($2.50 orig), has small chips at all tips and is in new mylar and displays well on the shelf. Sand is a novel about a wastrel tenderfoot who turns himself into a working cowboy. It takes a few years but he gets the job done. He gets the champion mustang nobody could catch, and the gal who was even harder to corral. Signed by Author(s).
