Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. pp. 432. 1st ed/2nd pr. Book is square and solid with a very lightly edge-worn dust jacket. This book is so sharp it could slice even Superman's skin--you'll shout up, up, and away with wild abandon when it arrives at your door! NOTE: Light evidence of handling to the sides of the pages and a little bit of foxing, and the jacket is in an archival Brodart.
