Clean boards. Spine is lightly sunned, as are the board edges (please see pics). Clean, intact, and uninscribed endpapers. Binding is very tight and square; text is very clean, bright, and crisp. A few of the pages were cut jaggedly (in those days, books were often sold with uncut edges, so that one would need to "open" every 8th page with a razor or letter opener as one read). 599 pages, approximately 8.25 x 6-inches. The dust jacket comes sleeved in ph-neutral Mylar and ready to slip into your collection.
This classic first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very special gift.
