This rare treasure has some very clearly visible wear, but is still in Highly Desirable, Highly Collectible condition!

The wear, however, should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying.


The book appears gently read and other than a lengthy previous owner gift inscription on the title page, has no internal writing, no foxing, no remainder marks, no missing pages and is NOT Ex-Libris or a BCE. 

The binding is holding tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean! 


Some general/shelf wear along with a noticeable lean, marks/wear to the spine/cloth boards, marks/wear to the edge/fore pages and toning/age discoloration to some of the pages, NOT affecting the text!

While not terribly egregious, the wear still is clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered.

As mentioned before, there is a lengthy previous owner gift inscription, written in pen and located on the title page.

The inscription is dated "5-14-79".

This particular page also has a few marks!

This internal writing/page/wear was closely photographed for your consideration.


The original dust jacket is price-clipped, otherwise fully intact!

Some general/shelf wear along with creases, scuffing, rips and marks.

Please note the wear on the spine, at the corners and near/along the edges!

In particular, please note the extensive wear near/along the edges!

The wear is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered.


We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book.

We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear.

Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear to both the book and especially the dust jacket is VERY clearly visible!

All of the wear, particularly to the dust jacket, should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying.


Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection.

Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!!

Payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed.

Please feel free to contact us with any and all questions. We are very proud of our 100% positive feedback/ranking and offer an easy, no questions asked return policy so you can buy with confidence! Thank you!!
