About This Item
New York: A Del Ray Book / Ballantine Books, 1976. Book Club Edition . Hardcover. Fine/VG+. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover with dust jacket. The front flap is marked "Book Club Edition" at the bottom of the front flap. The book looks and feels like it was never read, the binding is very tight as book was never fully opened. The exterior of the dust jacket does shows some scuffing, particularly to the edges and rear cover. Gray paper covered boards underneath or clean corners are sharp. We actually had to use blocks to hold the book open enough to take the pictures. The interior binding is tight and pages are clean, there are no issues at all. No handwriting, no signatures, no bookplates, no remainder marks, no library markings, nothing torn or loose, no smudge marks. Page 183 has the code S33 in the lower gutter area. It's a bit hard to read because the binding is so tight and you can barely see the first 3 of 33. The rear dust jacket flap does have a vertical crease that runs from top to bottom and a code at the bottom of 2403.

Terms of Sale
Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
