First BCE's of this Title are Scarce and Becoming Increasingly Hard to Find!! Hardcover with its original, iconic dust jacket. Published by Putnam: New York, 1961. A First American Book Club Edition, (BCE) with "1961" clearly stated on the copyright page and no additional dates present! Please remember this is NOT a First Edition/First Printing! Being a BCE, this copy is essentially an early reprint of the First Edition. An attractive option for collectors who desire a valuable, rare edition of this title while avoiding the exorbitant cost of a First Printing.

This rare treasure is in lovely, Highly Collectible condition! The book appears gently read and has no internal writing, no internal foxing, no remainder marks, no missing or ripped pages and is NOT Ex-Libris. The binding is holding tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean! Some general/shelf/age wear along with a noticeable lean, creases/wear to the spine/corners/boards, marks/foxing/wear to the edge/fore pages and creases/wear to some of the pages, NOT affecting the text! Please note the wear to the spine/corners/boards, particularly noticeable near/along the edges, the marks/foxing/wear to the edge/fore pages, particularly noticeable on the top and bottom edge pages and the creases/wear that is present on some of the pages, not terribly egregious and varying in size and severity. The wear is clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. Please also note there is a previous owner illustrated bookplate/sticker! The bookplate/sticker is attached/glued to the ffep/first bank page and has been closely photographed for your consideration. The original, beautifully illustrated dust jacket is fully intact! Some general/shelf/age wear along with creases, scuffing, marks and rips resulting in some loss of paper. Please note the wear on the spine, at the corners and near/along the edges! In particular, please note the rips and subsequent loss of paper near/along the edges! The wear is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear. Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear to both the book and the dust jacket is very clearly visible! All of the wear should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!! Following the conclusion of the auction, payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed. Please feel free to contact us with any and all questions.
