About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1958. First US Edition . Hardcover. Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover with dust jacket. The original price of $2.95 is still present on the front flap. DJ is housed an older mylar sleeve but shows creases and tears, front and rear flaps show dark spots from where tape once was. Black and blue cloth boards underneath show edge and corner where along with minor spotting. The internal binding is good, no hinge issues. The main reason for the low condition grade is both the front and rear end pages and pastedowns show marks from where the dust jacket was once taped on. The tape is long gone but the glue left dark spots. The front end page shows soiling in a rectangular spot in the upper right corner, presumably from an address label. The rear end page has some dates and codes written in pencil at the top half, nor their handwriting found, no bookplates, no library markings, no signatures. First American edition thus with a single date of 1958 appearing on the copyright page along with the publisher's code K-H. Paper is toned due to age but text pages are clean. The only soiling and markups noted are on the end pages and pastedowns.

Terms of Sale
Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
