Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A.: St Martins Pr, 1997. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good+. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Holmes, Lesley. Ten of the veterinarian-author's best-loved stories celebrating lambs, horses, cows, dogs, pigs, and their human counterparts. Illustrations by Lesley Holmes. Stated first U.S. edition. First printing with correct full number line sequence. The book itself is in beautiful condition and appears to be unread. It is exceptionally clean with no writing, marks, underlining, or bookplates. No remainder marks. Not an ex-library copy. Spine is tight and crisp. Corners are square and not bumped. Boards are clean, flat and true with virtually no wear. Dust jacket is not price-clipped ($16.95) and has only some minor edge wear/scuffing including a microtear to the lower left corner of the back cover and a hint of browning to the upper edges. The dust jacket would be graded higher were it not for a 1/4" scratch on the front cover. This scratch is only noticeable on the INSIDE of the jacket as it is masked perfectly by the design on the front cover. One would never know it was there, and the board is unaffected. This collectible, fine/very good+, first edition/first printing copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. Satisfaction guaranteed!
