Dust jacket rubbed with nicks at edges; light staining along bottom margins of spine and panels; front flap retains publisher's printed price at bottom right; older trimmed mylar sheet present as a dj protector.

Although without any markings as such, this book was acquired from the estate collection of Curtis Carson Holloman Jr. (1939-1991) who served on the English Department faculty at Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia, Mississippi. Most of Professor Holloman's books had author signatures acquired at literary events held at the University of Mississippi in Oxford but this British edition may well have been acquired from a dealer instead. {LitShelf#6|CMS-00183}.…
