Notes
|
1st edition/1st printing. True 1st edition, published 4 days before the U.K. edition. The book is straight and clean with no handwriting or soiling but has a bit of slight fading to the upper spine edge, the gilt spine titling has darkened a bit as usual, and there is a very small scuff to the front end page. The price intact dustjacket is crisp and unfaded but has a couple of small scrapes to the laminate at the upper edge and some shelf-rubbing that appears as slightly darker 'line-like' areas on the white background, more noticeable on the front panel. An anonymous agent is made personally responsible for heading off an impending catastrophe. No 'transit papers.'; 8 1/2" x 6"; 252 pages |
