Scarce first printing in jacket. Book is Fine with just a touch of rubbing to tips, whitening the dark cloth. Interior perfectly clean, crisp, unmarked. No handling noted. Beautiful copy. Dust jacket with a bit of chipping to tips and two tears to back panel, one about an inch and the other about one-fourth inch. Some dust, but really, for a jacket that is mostly white, it is quite clean and presents very well. The original $7.95 price is intact on front flap, and there are no medal stickers attached. Laid in is an author's biography/bibliography put out by Dutton and Penguin Putnam; this is inscribed and signed by Paterson. Creased from folding in half, no other damage.
