Stated first American edition, first printing (full number line). A Very Good+ hardcover in a Near Fine dust jacket. A notable defect on this copy is a unique toning/foxing pattern on pages throughout the text, where there are thin vertical brownish lines along with some general brownish spotting, akin to light foxing. I assume this is something unique to the kind of paper used in the book or some other manufacturing issue, as the vertical lines are perfectly straight and regular. Overall, it's quite light in color, but can be dense, and tends to appear in the margins of pages (see photos). Otherwise, the text is clean and unmarked. The binding is square and tight. The hinges are tight. The top and bottom edges of the hardcover boards are a bit rubbed, as is the bottom end of the spine. The jacket has some typical minor surface scratching and scuffing from shelfwear. The jacket is lightly bumped at the corners and spine ends, with a small tear at one corner.
