Item description from seller

See photos for condition details. Hardcover with dust jacket. Original price of $4.00 is still present on the front flap. DJ is soiled along with chips and tears to the edges and corners. The underside of the jacket was reinforced at one point with masking tape along the entire top and bottom edges, over the decades the tape blue has darkened the DJ paper which can be seen in the photos. Black cloth boards underneath are clean with only minor edge bumps. Internal binding is good and text pages are tight, no signatures or bookplates present, no library markings. Paper is mildly toned due to age but pages are clean.
