About This Item
Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.: William Morrow & Co, 2008. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. From within a sanctuary for mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers Fraa Erasmas ventures outside the protective gates and finds his world poised on the brink of cataclysmic change. First printing with correct full number line sequence. Aside from some browning to the pages this is an exceptionally clean copy with no writing, marks, underlining, or bookplates. No remainder marks. Not an ex-library copy. Spine is tight and crisp and has not been creased from reading. Corners are square, and the brown and black boards are clean, flat and true with virtually no wear. The gold gilt lettering on the spine and front board is very vibrant. Dust jacket is not price-clipped ($29.95) and is likewise in great shape with just some very minor shelf wear and maybe a hint of browning to the flaps. A great copy at a great price! This collectible, "NEAR FINE", first edition/first printing copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. Satisfaction guaranteed!
