The Edge of Sadness by Edwin O'Conner

This book comes in many different stated First Editions, I've seen 3. First Edition(1st to the trade), First Edition with Presentation Edition stated, And at least one Book Club Edition but they still have the indent on the rear cover at the bottom near the spine. This is one of the Book Clubs that someone has tried to conceal the indent and damaged the smoothness of the cloth. It does not look bad just darker over the indent. They went as far as to replace the BCE dustjacket with a priced one(there is value in the DJ as well). I spotted it in seconds but because the book was so good-looking, I kept it at a reduced rate. Over the years it has gained value because of its condition.

There is bruising to the spine ends more at the top than the bottom, the pages have light age toning and on the bottom 5 small spots the same color as the covers. The DJ has shelf wear more at the top than the bottom and light soiling and rubbing.
