259 [1] pp. 8vo, publisher's cloth in dust jacket; the variant with a green spine and Book of the Month Club sticker on the front panel. First edition. Usual loss of green cloth color from fugitive dyes; very slight chipping to the extremities of the spine; else a tight, unworn copy. The dust jacket has the same light wear to the extremities of the backstrip, but is otherwise unchipped or used. The backstrip is slightly faded as usual. This is an attractive and interesting copy.
