Hardcover in good condition, with a dust jacket also in good condition. Pages throughout are clean, bright, and entirely free of marks or annotations.The dust jacket and cloth spine show a small cluster of puncture holes, irregular in size and unevenly spaced, and seem consistent with pecking, possibly from a pet bird. The cause cannot be confirmed with full certainty, but the holes are confined to the spine cloth and do not penetrate or affect the text block or pages. Boards are otherwise sound, square, and free of wear. This copy is offered to Canadian buyers only. This edition was especially created in 1997 for the Book-of-the-Month Club by arrangement with W.
