Light red boards with gold-color lettering. 242 pages.

Fine- in Near Fine-/Very Good++ Dust Jacket. A very nice presentable and smart copy with only a couple of shortcomings to the dust jacket. The book itself is very clean, pages bright, corners straight, tiniest hint of dustiness to the lower corner of the front board, else just about fine. Dust Jacket is quite bright and clean on the front, main shortcomings some fraying to top and bottom of the spine, and typical soiling to the back, and some fading to the red lettering on the spine. Some places strengthened with archival adhesive to the back of the dust jacket.

NOTE: Book collectors should be aware there are some sellers offering the Gossett and Dunlap edition priced near the same as a first edition. They are NOT first editions, even though they have a nearly identical dust jacket design. Do not buy the G&D editions at premium prices, as they could never be resold into the market for near the same price. If you wish such a book, you should not have to pay more than about $25 for such copies.

ALSO: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.
