About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux/Ariel Books, 1973. First Edition Later Printing . Hardcover. Poor/Near Fine. Dillon, Leo; Dillon, Diane. Author's second YA adventure/sci-fi novel featuring the beloved characters from "A Wrinkle in Time": Meg Murray, her brother Charles Wallace, Calvin O'Keefe, & Mr. Jenkins. Not a sequel, but a "companion piece.'' Orig. published in 1973, this is the 18th printing of that FIRST EDITION from 1991, identical in all aspects. As this is an Ex-Lib copy, with all the usual stamps & markings inside & out & old card pocket in front, it is in only Poor condition: heavy wear from previous readers, significant edgewear, especially along bottom from shelf. Binding secure, but a bit wobbly; cracked & reglued near rear hinge. But the DJ is a Beauty!!!: as it was protected under old library mylar (which has been carefully removed, the DJ cleaned, & new clear mylar cover put on), the unclipped DJ (with cover art by Leo & Liane Dillon) is Near Fine: bright & colorful with virtually NO wear or fading! Only flaw is a light stain descending from top edge about half-way down the back cover close to spine. Our photos show the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have on hand. Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Pacific time (Pacific); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
