This example is shelf worn, most notably to the spine ends, but still is square, clean, and presents well. The dust jacket has an abrasion on the front panel and general edge wear including a short closed tear to upper rear and some light creases. All together a still very presentable and acceptable example of an inexplicably uncommon title. The great Irish author's third book and first collection of shorts.
