Author: MARTIN, J. P. [J. PERCIVAL]; ILLUSTRATED BY QUENTIN BLAKE
Title: Uncle - Stories
Description: NY, Coward-McCann, 1966, First American Edition. 1966, 1st Edition. Hardcover with dust jacket. Hardback, octavo, pp 159 + [i], Fine in VG- dj (dj in mylar). Book itself about completely flawless. DJ only one flagrant flaw, being a quarter-inch chip out at head of spine. Chip dips down and catches top of letters "CL" of the title which is very near the head of spine, and which makes me want to consider a well-matched insert beneath the dj with the missing letter parts cosmetically recreated. Otherwise dj quite nice - clean, crisp, price intact, with only a very short closed additional tear at top edge of back panel & very light (just about completely invisible) vertical spine crease (the dj appears to have been opened out away from the book and folded over quite lightly backwards, along the spine). Fine/Very Good.
