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.

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."
