About This Item
Henry Regnery, 1963. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good DJ. Most likely a first printing thus, near fine blue cloth hardcover shows a name along hige at front endpaper and some other very light trace wear, in a very good dust jacket (price at flap) that shows a rub blemish at rear panel probably from some sort of sticker removal, nild exposure toning along spine and edgewear that includes a number of small tears. 305 pages translated by Elisabeth Mayer and Louise Bogan. Still a pleasing copy "here presented for the modern reader a brilliant new translation of the work which, since its original publication in 1809, has influenced the development of the psychological novel.
