"BOOK CLUB EDITION" on its jacket's front flap, and no statement of edition or printing on its copyright page. Printing code "A51" (December 1970) on bottom of page 183, so a 1st printing thus (per ISFDB.) This book is in very good condition, marred only by light wear on its spine ends, light bumps on its covers' bottom corners, and slight spine lean. Its binding is sound, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn. Pages are unmarked and unworn. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in good condition, marred only by wear on the ends of its spine and front flap fold, light sun-toning on its spine, and some faint stain on the bottom of its back and across the top of its spine. 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.
