About This Item
Text is clean and unmarked in a tight binding. Binding is slightly cocked with some wear around the outer edges. Text is age toned. DJ is worn with several chips around the DJ spine. A small, closed tear at the bottom back DJ edge. Introduction by William McFee. From the Introduction, "Conrad left no successors. His touch was too personal, too dependent upon the circumstances of his Polish heritage, his unusual relationship to the English language and his uniquely adventurous young manhood. It can never be transmitted to others." //No sales outside of the United States due to the excess weight.//
