Bookplate and label poorly removed from front free endpaper, leaving scuff. Ink notation on title page.

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. You'll feel elated, brimming with panache and elan, like Cugel the Clever, having just eluded the clutches of both Iucouno the Laughing Magician and Chun the Unavoidable, the melancholy light of the dying sun faltering above you as you settle back to appreciate the many excellences of this treasured volume. NOTE: NOT the limited or numbered edition. Also, there is a light smudge to the page sides and a tiny chip to the bottom of the front board.
