About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown, 1963. First Edition; first state, without the dedication page. [With] copies in the second and third states; all three are fine or nearly fine in dust jackets. The earliest state was reportedly recalled and only twenty copies supposedly survived in the wild. This cataloguer has seen it often enough to suspect that the number is higher, although it is certainly uncommon.
