Near fine book in very good jacket. Hint of yellowing to jacket, faint crease on inside of jacket flap, price unclipped, subtle shelf wear to top of spine on jacket. Otherwise jacket surprisingly clean and bright for being white and 44 years old. Book itself in excellent condition, red boards colorful, faint soiling to top of text block. Overall a wonderful copy of this authors great collection of essays.
