First Edition/Stated First Printing; A Very Good book in a Very Good Original dust jacket. A handsome example of this classic of 20th century literature and basis for many movie and TV adaptations. This volume is in very good condition showing some light sunning and fading to the boards, mild off-setting to the end papers, some light shelf wear to the spine ends, and a loose front hinge to the first few pages. Housed in a clean and bright very good dust jacket that shows some light rubbing, chipping, and creasing to the spine ends and edges, a couple of horizontal scratches to the front panel, and a few short closed tears to the top edges that have been tape repaired to the verso. Not price clipped ($5.95 intact) and not ex-library; overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy.
In archival protection and ships in a sturdy box.
