First Edition Thus [1987]; First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just the barest hint of wear to the extremities and the mildest rubbing to the panels; foxing to the inside of the front and rear covers and the text pages have tanned somewhat, due to aging; the binding leans ever so slightly off square, but remains perfectly secure; the text is clean. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. Shows a couple of minor flaws; but remains a handsome copy: clean, sturdy, and quite presentable: in fact, in overall appearance, remains virtually 'As New'. 8vo.
