A very good copy. The dust jacket is in very good condition with no tears and remains unclipped in price ($3.50). The jacket is now protected in a removable archival sleeve. The boards and spine are very good. Endpapers good with very light age-toning. All contents present and pages clean throughout. No writing or names to the book. Overall a very good first edition.
