Stated First Edition; A Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. An outstanding copy of this author's first novel, scarce in collectible condition. This copy is in near fine condition with a square, tight binding, sharp lettering over clean grey boards, a bright red top stain, and crisp white pages free from any markings; the book does show some mild rubbing to the board edges and spine ends and some very light soiling to the exterior text block, else fine. Housed in a clean and bright near fine dust jacket that shows only light rubbing to the edges and corners and moderate fading to the spine (common for the title). Not remaindered, not price clipped ($6.95 intact), not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
