Bound in black cloth with titles in red on spine. Gorgeous blind-stamped skull on front board. Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. Perhaps a hint of softness to spine ends and faint off-setting to the end-papers from the jacket flaps. Both quite minor. Unfaded red top-stain. Remarkably well-preserved. Incredibly fresh and bright clipped dust-jacket. has a tiny nick at the top rear fold and mild rubbing to the heel. Front panel has an almost invisible 1" closed tear at the top edge. A few areas of professional color touch-ups. A simply gorgeous collectable copy of an uncommon title in any condition and scarce in this high grade. (Inventory #: 016421)
