Foxing on upper edge of text block with a tiny, faint stain on bottom edge. As with most older books shelved a long time there is separation between binding & spine cover, but spine remains square, binding tight & strong. Text, with exception of aforementioned, impeccably clean, i.e., NO writing, highlighting, underlining, marks, stains, tears, creases, etc. DUST JACKET: Minimal to negligible wear concentrated on spine's & turns' edges. Other than a tiny chipped area on top edge of first turn, chipping is non-existent. A couple miniscule (.1" or less) & one .5" closed tears on edges which are difficult to detect. Closed tears invisibly tape-repaired/reinforced on back side with removable, archival (acid-free) tape. Negligible rubbing which is incredibly rare. Impressively clean as new. New removable archival cover enhances an already exceptional appearance while helping protect it against future wear & deterioration. As a concise yet comprehensive description can prove difficult to cite for older used books PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW ALL OF ACTUAL BOOK'S PICTURES as they, in conjunction with written description, comprise the most accurate & definitive description. Proof of First Edition: There are no ISBN numbers or number lines printed for Book Club editions. "Book Club Edition" printed on the DJ's bottom right corner, "Chilton Book Company" printed on the opposite side of the second title page, the year "1965" printed on the copyright page & "1681" on the bottom of the back jacket flap are attributes which in totality offer proof of this book being a Book Club First Edition.
