Like new, appears unread, unclipped and not remaindered. Interior is clean and unmarked. A very warm inscription to the verso of the tile page by the authors wife, “Dear____ and ____ It is my pleasure to present to you, Roly’s first novel. The first novelist in our family! I wish Mom and Dad could have known that Roly accomplished one of his lifetime goals, Sincerely Mary Lou (Soper) Austdal, Dec. 13, 1993.” Unclipped dustjacket is very lightly bumped and rubbed to extremities. Mr. Soper served as a paratrooper with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry in the Korean War.
