About this Item
First Printing. Signed by the author to a laid-in decorative bookplate. The book is absolutely fine in a fine dust jacket. The book appears unread -- binding square and tight -- and the dust jacket is now protected by a removable Brodart archival cover. Clean and bright, a pristine collectible copy.
