About This Item
New York: William Morrow & Co., 1953. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8.25 x 6.5. The interior of the book is clean and crisp, showing few signs of previous use. There is a bookplate on the front fixed end paper, and the name of a former owner (dated 1956) on the free front end paper. The yellow cloth covers are still bright and fresh, showing just a hint of wear to the corners and edges. The dust jacket is price-clipped, but shows only very light wear. A very nice copy, now in a protective plastic cover..
