Publisher's original red cloth over boards, silver lettering to spine, stamped in blind to upper cover. Book Condition: PO embossed stamp to ffep else fine. Dust Jacket Condition: faint crinkling at spine ends, faint signs of handling else fine. Actually, an extraordinarily nice jacket, rare for escaping the usual yellowing that 85% of copies of this title display. It's easy to overlook the yellowing if it is mild enough, until you view two copies next to one another and then it jumps out at you. A sharp, (unyellowed) copy.
