Stated First Trade Edition/First Printing with no mention of subsequent printings; A Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. SIGNED, inscribed, and dated by the author to the front free paper. An outstanding copy of this seminal novel, a classic of Science Fiction/Horror writing, and basis for the award winning movie that has spawned a renewed interest in dinosaurs and the Jurassic era as well as multiple sequels. This copy is in Near Fine condition with only light rubbing to the spine and board edges and a small damp stain to the front free paper (MC spill a drop of coffee?), else fine; housed in a clean, crisp, and bright near fine jacket that shows slight rubbing to the spine ends and corners, and a mild age-toning to the jacket edges. Overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy of a book hard to find as such...not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
