a novel by Mario Puzo
First edition, first printing
New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1969. First edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's original cream colored cloth with gilt decoration on front panel over black cloth spine with titles in gilt. Near Fine, a bright and fresh copy with a slight lean to the binding, erasure-mark to top corner of half-title page. In a Near Fine unclipped ($6.95) dust jacket with light wear at the extremities and a short closed tear at the top edge of the rear panel with some associated creasing, but on the whole a much nicer example than as normally encountered.
