Vanguard, 1969. Third printing. National Book Award 1970.
Book: Very good. Dust jacket: Acceptable. Pages are unmarked. Yellow top stain has dampstaining. Front hinge is cracked. Boards have dampstaining on all surfaces, more like fading in this case. Spine ends have softened. Gilt on spine and front is still distinct and shiny. Dust jacket seems to have been thoroughly drenched in the spill incident and dried wavy in certain spots. Chipping on corners, fore-edges and spine ends. Larger rips on bottom of spine, top front corner and back bottom corner. Rubbing and creasing along all edges, including gutters.
