About This Item
Signed by Pillsbury to the half-title. Tight, square spine. Former seller label to the front paste-down and former owner name to the front flyleaf, but interior is clean and unmarked otherwise. Some light foxing to the top edge and one very small and subtle instance of soiling to the from board, but no other notable shelf-wear to the book. Price-clipped jacket has some chipping soiling, light creasing, and a small label to the spine at the foot. Lovely mid-century design and lots of B&W illustrations by Smith. 232 pp. Journalism.
