TRUE First Editions of this Title are Scarce and Becoming Increasingly Hard to Find!!
Hardcover with its original, price-clipped, First State dust jacket.
Published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1963.
A TRUE First American Edition/First Printing/First State with ALL First Edition Points present!
This rare treasure has some VERY clearly visible wear, but is still in Desirable, Highly Collectible condition!
Unfortunately, the wear is SUBSTANTIAL and should be carefully examined/considered BEFOE buying.
The book appears gently read and has no internal writing, no internal foxing, no remainder marks and is NOT Ex-Libris or a BCE.
The binding is holding tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean!
Some general/shelf wear along with creases/wear to the spine/corners/cloth boards, marks/foxing/wear to the edge/fore pages, toning to the pages and creases/wear to some of the pages, NOT affecting the text!
In our opinion, the most unfortunate wear is that the first page, which is blank, is missing and is no longer present!
The first, blank page has been ripped out and a small portion of the page can still be seen.
Once again, the first, blank page is missing and no longer present having been ripped out by a previous owner.
The area and the partial remnants of the ripped put page was closely photographed for your consideration.
The wear is VERY clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered.
The original, First State dust jacket is NOT price-clipped, otherwise fully intact but has EXTENSIVE wear!
Some general/shelf wear along with creases, scuffing, marks and numerous large rips resulting in some considerable loss of paper.
Please note the wear on the spine, at the corners and near/along the edges!
In particular, please note the numerous large rips and considerable loss of paper!
The wear is VERY clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered.
We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book.
We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear.
Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear to both the book and the dust jacket is VERY clearly visible!
The wear is EXTENSIVE/SUBSTANTIAL and should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying.
Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection.
Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!!
