Price: US$40.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: The Doubleday hardcover first US edition, with "First Edition" and "Doubleday edition 1974" on its copyright page. This book is in very good condition, marred only by spine lean, plus wear on its spine ends and its covers' corners. Its binding is sound, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in fair condition, bright and unmarked, with one major flaw -- missing the top 1" of its spine -- plus a small chip at the top of its back flap fold, a short closed tear in its back top edge, and some faint traces of soiling on its white back, but otherwise unmarked and unworn. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.
