"First Edition" on its copyright page. Inscribed and dated on its front end paper by author Avram Davidson. This book is in good condition, marred only by slight spine lean and a partial spine crease, remainder spray on bottom of its text block, light bumps on its covers' spine ends and top corners, and some light wear on its covers' bottom edges. Its binding is sound. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in very good condition: whole, bright, and unmarked, with two short closed tears in its front top edge, and some light wear on its spine ends. 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 proud new owner in the same condition as my description.
