Appelton-Century-Crofts, Inc., 1951. Fair in Fair DJ. Binding split at half title page. Age-toning and foxing on initial fly leaves. Else clean and bright and free of ownership marks. Some staining to fore-edges of cloth boards and minor edge wear. DJ is intact but price-clipped, chipped, creased, torn, and lightly soiled. A fun reading copy but not collectible.
