About This Item
New York: E.P. Dutton, 1977. 242 pp. 21.5 x 14.5 cm. Black quarter cloth with rust colored paper covered boards and copper titling to spine, in a glossy illustrated dustjacket. First edition, first printing with full number line. Faint rubbing to dustjacket, with tiny 4 mm nick to tail edge of rear panel. Dustjacket has been price clipped. Very light bumping to tail of spine. Some light foxing to top edge of text block. Due to what appears to be a very minimal binder's error, the first gathering is slightly out of alignment and pushes out about 1 mm past the others on the fore edge of the book. Singed by Abbey in brown ink on the title page. Interior otherwise clean and unmarked. Binding firm. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Stiles, Jim.
