Stated First Printing, First Edition. Published by Farrar, Straus And Giroux, 1973, New York. You can see the green covers in the photos. They are very clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. The six edges are in solid shape, there is a small nick at the front middle edge. The four corners have a little bit of rubbing, no rub-through. There's a crease just above the rear bottom corner. The gilt lettering on the spine is bright. The spine ends have a little bit of crinkling, the top one has a definite wrinkle, in deference to the author's earlier work. The top page edge is green, I think, maybe it's blue. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. They did a very good job. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The inside covers and endpapers are a light green, definitely not blue. They are very clean. The pages are in excellent condition. They too are very clean, I saw one small light spot at the blank margin of one side of a page. I don't think there are any other spots. I'm not seeing any conspicuous creasing. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. Unfortunately, the book is missing its dust jacket. On the other hand, the book would be considerably more expensive if that were not the case. A Wind in the Door is a young adult science fantasy novel by Madeleine L'Engle. It is a companion book to A Wrinkle in Time and part of the Time Quintet. Michele Murray wrote in The New York Times, "Madeleine L'Engle mixes classical theology, contemporary family life, and futuristic science fiction to make a completely convincing tale that should put under its spell both readers familiar with the Murrys and those meeting them for the first time."

In beautiful shape: tight, square, uncreased spine; clean, unmarked interior. Only very gentle shelf-wear. According to cover artist Leo Dillon's New York Times obituary, he and his wife Diane's collaborative process involved a 'negotiation' with an elusive third party: 'After sufficient back-and-forth, and sufficient spirited argument, the resulting image appeared, they often said, to have been the work of an unseen but very much present third party, whom they called "It."' This trade paperback features a cover that meets and matches the imagination of L'Engle's Time series (IT, weirdly enough, is also the name of the techno-authoritarian creature whom the Murry family battles in A Wrinkle in Time), ingeniously combining elements of art nouveau, scientific illustration, and eschatological imagery. Design by Cynthia Bailey. 211 pp.
