A clean, Near Fine copy of the first trade hardcover edition (only 2000 copies), in a Fine dust jacket that had been stored rolled, it is 'as new'!
The book is square, firmly bound, with all corners sharp. There is a thumbnail impression, just above middle center, to several of the first few pages. This can be seen in photos 1 & 5, it is minor, though worth a mention.
This is a bright collectors copy, with the gold lettering on the spine unblemished, a stunning, original dust jacket and some of the best short fiction by The Magic Man himself in a single volume. One of Dark Harvest's best publications.
All hardcover books with dust jackets include a mylar protector.
It was removed to more accurately photograph the book.
