Ex-library book. The item is fairly worn but continues to work perfectly. Signs of wear can include aesthetic issues such as scratches, dents, and worn corners. All pages and the cover are intact, but the dust cover may be missing. Pages may include limited notes and highlighting, but the text is not obscured or unreadable.
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.
