All this is re-created with luminous grace and simplicity." Jacket has some overall wear and light soil, sunned spine and half inch tear to top of jacket; pencilled notation on top of fep. Pages from title page to page 34 have a light crease or mar in the margin. Pages 55-64 are bumped in the very far margin. . First Thus. Hard Cover. Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
