Solid first edition, first printing 1964 McGraw-Hill hardcover. A Very Good book wrapped in a Good jacket. Text itself is in relatively excellent shape showing very little use. Pages are clean, crisp and unmarked. Binding is solid and tight. Cover is clean and attractive with light wear at spine ends and tips, a tiny tear in cloth at head of spine and light toning creeping in around edges. Nothing dramatic. Price-clipped dust jacket is evenly and mildly seasoned, showing moderate edge and surface wear, a handful of little rips at spine ends but no other tears, mostly because someone laid tape along top and bottom edges on reverse side for reinforcement. The jacket is a touch cosmetically rough but not horrible or tattered. Text block edges are lightly toned. Worst imperfection: the front flyleaf has been cleanly removed and previous owner's name is inked onto half title page. Otherwise no major cosmetic dramas: no stains, no moisture damage, no tears etc. All told, this remains a clean, tight, relatively attractive copy that has aged mildly and evenly. Jacket now protected in clear archival mylar.
