About This Item
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1973. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First printing as verified by McBride. Spine is tight, boards rigid and tips are pointed. Mottling on top of text block. Appears unread. The jacket is NOT price clipped but has slightest hint of label ghost on front cover. Some wear at spine ends with small tear at top front corner. Looks quite smart in its shiny new plastic cover. Shipping box is suitable for wrapping with a non-price listed purchase order inside along with biodegradable packing. "Clever, witty and different...Ribald, tongue-in-cheek, Nabokovian. Charyn's ingenuity and versatility are evident, and he will undoubtedly entertain sophisticates with his sly digs, buffoonery, and mazelike plot." - Publishers Weekly..
