About this Item

Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full black cloth. The spine is gilt-stamped. Bright yellow endpapers. 354pps. Stated First Edition. There is mild bumping to the spine-ends, otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has a 1/2" chip at the lower front tip along with minor edgewear; the original price (3.95) is intact on the front flap. A very nice, collector's-quality copy. "Against the rich, tumultuous background of the Renaissance, Mr. Prokosch unfolds a tale of horror and suspense, of crime and punishment overwhelming in its impact. It happened in the closing years of the sixteenth century, in a country and time when noble families were no strangers to profligacy and crime, to plotting and to murder. Yet even cynical, worldly Rome was profoundly shocked by the Cenci case." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books.
