AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Hardcover. Condition: Very good + First Edition/First Printing.
Hardcover. Very good + book in a Very good + priced dust jacket. ($5.95). Correct first edition, first print copyright details with the correct numberline and first edition stated. Random House signifies their first editions contrary to others by stating FIRST EDITION in addition to beginning their number-line with 2 rather than 1.
Book: The book interior is beautiful with no dog-eared pages or inscriptions. No spine lean. Tightly bound. No foxing on pages, but evidence of very minimal foxing on inner boards. Speckles of foxing around the page blocks but as mentioned this does not translate onto inner pages. Small blue mark on spine interior and a few little marks on front. Small red booksellers sticker on inner board. (Please check pics closely.)
Jacket: The jacket is very good + with minor loss to top right at the front (See pic). Some minor creasing on a few extremities. Still vibrant and protected by a mylar cover.
Third novel from the author becoming increasingly rare. Only 2600 first print copies.
