First edition, first printing hardcover in first state dust jacket. 196pp. Jacket has some light rubbing at extremities but is now protected in mylar. Cloth beneath mostly clean but with half a light ring stain on front board. It appears that a previous owner or seller may have paired the book with an appropriate jacket but not its original; the front flap of another jacket has been taped inside the front cover.
