Take a look at our other items for more vintage books and other fun finds!  

Item:  Hardcover book, 1974, 1st Edition, as shown.

Condition:  Very good vintage condition. Some slight wear to the dust jacket but the book is structurally sound with tight binding. The pages are clean and crisp and free of any markings or creases. No water damage. Please note that this is a used book. Please use the zoom feature and feel free to ask questions if the exact condition is important to you. We are not professional book graders.

Shipping Details:  Free Shipping (well packed, in a box).   International shipping is extra.

Media mail:   Media mail shipping is provided for books or other qualified media in order to lower your overall cost.  Unless otherwise noted, we ship within one business day of receiving payment; however, total transit time may vary greatly with media mail. The listing will update when we ship so you will know that your item is on its way.  Most of the time media mail is reasonably fast, sometimes amazingly so. That being said, at times it can mysteriously take 10-12 days after being received by the post office. If this happens, please understand it is out of our control. Media mail typically takes at least two weeks to reach Hawaii and Alaska. You can upgrade to priority mail if you need it fast.

We ship our books in a box!: Unless otherwise noted, our books will ship in a box to protect your purchase. The slight extra cost on shipping will ensure that you receive your book in the described condition.

Buy it Now or Best Offer:   We would kindly ask that you complete your purchase by submitting payment as soon as possible after using the Buy it Now feature or Best Offer option.

Returns: Not accepted, all book sales are final. Please be sure of your purchase.

Problem With Your Order?:  We do our best to ensure that our listings are accurately described and that our services are prompt and reliable.  That being said, if we have made a mistake or there is an issue with your order, please contact us.  We will make it right.

We're happy to answer any questions.  Thanks!
