About This Item
One of Vance's scarcer first editions. Doubleday mostly sold to libraries in the period when this was published. This is a clean ex-library copy with some flaws: the jacket is missing a tiny patch in the middle of the spine, the endpapers have tape on them, there is a coffee stain on pp 52 and 53, the spine is somewhat slanted, and the ends of the spine somewhat crushed. There is a "Library of Congress Surplus Duplicate" stamp split in two on the copyright and half-title pages (I've seen this stamp on other books in its complete form, and it's quite recognizable if one knows it). The jacket is unclipped, in a plastic protector. Not a collector's copy, but not just a place-holder: it's in quite good enough shape to stand up to many more readings. At least Doubleday used good paper and binding materials at this point in their history. Feel free to ask for more pictures or more information.
