"First Edition" on its copyright page, and publisher's original "$4.95" price on its un-clipped jacket front flap. This book is in very good condition, marred only by a former owner's "Book Relay" stamp on its front endpaper, plus light bumps on its spine ends, and slight lean. Its binding is sound, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright silver titles on its spine. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. Not a remainder. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in near fine condition: whole, bright, and unmarked, with traces of wear on its spine ends, and the top of its front flap fold. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description.
