Wainscott, NY Pushcart Press, 1989. Hardcover First Edition (1989), unstated. Probable later printing, as there is no overt indication to the contrary. Near Fine in Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use. The Book shows a small, faint smudge at the lower fore-edge; and an even fainter smudge at the top edge of the text block; just a hint of shelving wear to the bottom edges of the boards; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A very nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing the mildest wear and a couple of unobtrusive cosmetic flaws. Very close to 'As New'. The DJ shows only mild rubbing to the panels; the price is unclipped; mylar-protected. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (9.25 x 6.35 x 1.25 inches). 276 pages. Language: English. Weight: 1 pound, 5.1 ounces. First Edition (1989), unstated. Probable later printing, as there is no overt indication to the contrary. Hardback with DJ. Winner of the Eighth Annual Editors' Book Award.
