Viking/Elizabeth Sifton Books, NY, 1987, 293 pgs. First American edition, in Near Fine/Very Good+ condition, with minimal edgewear and light edge soiling to book but appears unread. The DJ has a bit of edge soiling, and edge toning/browning. Otherwise tight, square, clean, and unclipped (please review photos). A fictional tale set in almost uninhabitable central Australia, in which two travelers ask and try to answer questions that have occupied mankind's thoughts since the beginning. All books bubble wrapped and shipped promptly in a box.
Synopsis
