Nice reading copy of the first paperback. This copy has seen better days from a cosmetic standpoint, but the spine is almost unbelievably sturdy, making this little mass market collectible a great buy for those who wish to read the novel from the same object that folks were reading it from in the 60’s. It does have display quality too, but with the wear (and sturdiness) I would recommend it for someone who wants to crack it open from time to time, as there seems to be NO risk of spine cracking at this current point. Pages are clean, binding is tight but slightly warped (see pictures). Overall an awesome piece of history.
