the  greatest  playwright  of the American theater.  Atkinson  AI-1-I:

printed  dustwrapper  which has only minor soiling, a one-inch  jagged
closed  tear  to  the  top of the front panel  and  two  rather  small
repaired  chips  to  the spine tips not affecting any  lettering.  The
book  itself is Very Good, the only defect being some adhesive remnant
on  the  front pastedown from the removal of a bookplate. Housed  in a
recently repaired 1/2 morocco clamshell box.                  $1500.00
