Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1st ed/1st pr, SIGNED by the author on the title page. This book is square, solid, and plausibly unread; the boards are solid and unblemished, and the dust jacket is sharp and in a protective Brodart cover. No price clippings, no remainder marks. You…'ll be compelled to shout "Beam me up, Scotty!" with Shatnerian élan once you have this book in your hands! NOTE: Evidence of dusty-smudgey handling to the sides of the pages, and a cinnamon-dusting of foxing all around. Also: to the edge of the back board, about two inches from the bottom, there is a bump which also bumped the last few pages just a bit. Jacket has three micro-dots of foxing on it. Signed by Author(s).
