Duodecimo size (12mo), 7.5"/19cm h. Bound in publisher's navy blue cloth, bright gilt lettering to spine. Glossy color pictorial dj. Plain white endpapers. 190 numbered pp, [191] last page of text, [192] blank. Acknowl, 17 "spine chillers by the most glittering array of names ever drawn together by a common interest" (from the dj). Condition notes: a lovely, tight, square, unmarked copy; spine ends lightly rolled/corners gently bumped; excellent brightness to spine lettering; unclipped dj moderate wear with a bit of rubbing and several small tears, esp at folds. Despite the mild hyperbole to the dj, quite a nice collection from notables: Bradbury, Waugh, Pritchett, Matheson, et al. We personally inspect every book we offer. |
