Cambridge, MA Webb Books, 1961. Paperback First Edition Thus (1961), Third Printing (1963). Very Good in Wraps: shows indications of careful use: just a hint of wear to the extremities; mild rubbing, a couple of patches of more stringent scuffing, and a touch of faint soiling to the white background field of the wrapper covers; there are red and yellow patches of color, as part of the book's design, which have been somewhat sun-blanced, and the white titles thereon are not as bold and crisp because of this; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Former owner's name neatly penned at the back side of the front endpaper. Shows a little rubbing wear and some minor flaws, but remains a handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a couple of minor flaws; this would make an attractive reading copy: clean, sturdy, and quite presentable. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8 x 5.3 x 0.65 inches). 264 pages. Language: English. Weight: 9.8 ounces. First Edition Thus (1961), Third Printing (1963). Trade Paperback.
