Description

New York: A Richard Seaver Book / The Viking Press, 1977. Uncorrected Proof / Advance Reading Copy . Soft cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Softcover, this is the unrevised proof, marked confidential on the front cover, and was sent out for correction purposes. Interior pages are hand numbered and the reviewer was supposed to mark any errors and then send it back to The Viking Press before the book was actually published in March 1977. It appears the book receive damage at the postal center and was later sold at auction, as you can see by the stamping inside the front cover. The front wrap has diagonal creases in the lower right in the rear cover has a lot dark smudge marks and a vertical crease. Internal binding is good and tight. The front page which shows the publishers letter is attached to the second front end page by glue. The remaining pages are in good shape with no markings other than the hand numbering of the pages. This uncorrected proof was likely printed in 1976 as it was sent out prior to the 1977 first edition publication. Only a small quantity of these proofs were printed and were not intended to be made available to the public.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA) Georgia, United States

Biblio member since 2021

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. All of the book pictures were taken at the time the book was listed and we never use generic or stock photos in any listing. If you would like additional photos or information on any listing please let us know and we will be more than happy to comply.

Terms of Sale:

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.
