There is also an "EX LIBRIS Joseph Schaller" period bookplate on its front pastedown with charming science fictional images. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is also in very good+ condition: whole, bright, and unmarked, with light wear on ends of spine and front flap fold, a thin 1.5" scrape on its back, and shallow creases along top edges of its flaps. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description. Signed by Author(s).
