The 1986 Doubleday hardcover and dust jacket, with "FIRST EDITION" on its copyright page, "$10.95" publisher's price on its dust jacket front flap, and "0586" (May 1986 first printing) on the back flap. This book is in gift quality near fine condition, marred only by some very light bumps on cover edges and corners. Also noted, it has narrow strips of yellow along the hinge side of the blue pastedowns and end papers (typical for this publication.) The book's binding is sound and square. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in very good condition: whole and unmarked, with some light wear on hinge folds, a bump with short closed tear on bottom edge of the back cover, and a tiny bit of sun toning along its top edge. 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.
