more  attractive  early  titles  from the press, not  often  found  in
acceptable  condition.  This copy has a few small spots of rubbing  to
the  spine and some streaks of white (paint?) on both covers, but  the
binding  is still attractive and the leather supple. Near Fine in Near
Fine slipcase.                                                 $350.00
