3) Sharp Corners
4) No marking or writing in book 
5) No toning to the paper

About the Dust Jacket:
1) First state with the correct number of other titles in the series shown on the rear cover
2) Jacket is not price-clipped and shows original $2.00 price
3) Protected with Brodart or similar mylar cover
4) The mylar book cover shows some reflections and lighting hot spots. These are due to the reflective nature of the mylar and are not defects.  

Note: I am not a book expert and will not attempt to grade the condition of the book. In my mind though, given the age and rarity of the book and dust jacket, this copy is in excellent condition compared to many of the Winston copies I have run across.  Please see all the photographs for specific condition details and message me if you have any questions.
