This copy is in near fine condition showing only some light rubbing and a couple of tiny bumps to the board edges; housed in a clean and bright very good dust jacket that shows some minor rubbing and chipping to the spine ends and edges, a couple of short closed tears to the top of the front panel, and a few areas of discreet tape repair to the verso of the jacket. Overall a presentable and collectible copy. Not remaindered, not price clipped ($3.00 intact), not ex-library; in a fresh Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
