1st ed/1st printing, SIGNED by the author on the title page. This book is square, solid, and unread; the boards are solid and unblemished, and the lovely dust jacket is in a protective Brodart cover. No price clippings, no remainder marks. When you receive this book, you'll feel as though you've stumbled into a cave and come across an elven sword named Glamdring — or the crown of the fabled Prester John — a ring of invisibility — or even a Magic Lamp, prosaic as that may sound! You MAY even cartwheel with glee! NOTE: VERY light evidence of handling to the sides of the pages.
