Touch of rubbing to bottom edge of cover and some dust soiling to top edge of text block, but a fine copy in very good four-color pictorial dust jacket (reproducing a superb color painting by Allen St. John on the front panel) with light edge wear, a bit of toning and fading to spine panel, dust soiling to rear panel, and price clipped from top edge of front flap. A nice example of the jacket overall, with especially bright front panel that reproduces one of St. John's finest SF paintings.
