Introduction by Robert Park. xx, 353 pages.
Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing stated). A very good copy (shallow dampstain along the top edge) in a very good, price-clipped dust jacket. The front flap of the jacket is clipped at the top and bottom with a $4.00 price printed vertically below the upper clip. It seems likely that the price of the book changed and that this jacket reflects that. Scarce, especially in jacket.
