1st pr. SIGNED by AUTHOR on the title page. Book is square, solid, and unread. In protective archival bag. Once this treasured tome from Tanjecterly has arrived at your stately manse of Trilda, you'll retire to the parlor and a light repast of wine and cheese, melon and water fowl, before focusing your attention on its many and varied excellences, composed, as it is, of sandestin stuff - hopefully Grofinet won't choose this moment for a spontaneous lecture on the Egyptian pyramids! NOTE: VERY light evidence of edgewear, age-toning, and a slight degree of fade to the spine. Also a light bump to the lower righthand corner of the front cover.

NOTE: VERY light evidence of edgewear and age-toning; also, the spine has this spidery-thin line you can barely see at the right angle in the light. Clearly the book was never read, but at one point it got briefly opened a bit aggressively.
