A book collection observation: unless a book's content has been changed 10% or more, or if an introduction has changed(like added by someone else), the edition stays the same, so saying the book is a first edition does not say when it was acturally printed, but this publisher has a 2 letter code. The code for this book F-T translated to May-1970 making it a LATER PRINTING/unknown printing. this DJ: is a second state with 1969 Pulitzer Prize Novel on the inside flap.

DJ: is 2nd state as discussed already,there are a few small tears,light browning to the edges,price intact,light scratches.
