Seller's Description:
Dust Jacket Included. First Trade Edition. A fine copy in a vg dj which has no chips and is not price-clipped, but it does have some closed tears including a 2" tear along rear flap fold, a 1.5" tear along rear hinge crease, and a few 1/4" to 1/2" edge tears. These are all fairly invisible when the jacket is in its archival polyester protective sleeve. There is some additional minor edgewear and light dust soiling. These flaws make the jacket sound awful; its not--grading on appearance you would consider it much closer to fine than it may sound like it is.
