Title: HALF OF PARADISE
Description: Houghton Mifflin, 1965. 1965, 1st Edition. Hardcover with dust jacket. Hardback, octavo, 5 7/8 x 8 5/8 inches, [viii] + 312 pages, Near Fine in G+ dj (dj now in clear protective mylar). Tight square binding with hinges intact, clean endpapers, crisp & clean throughout interior. Cloth covers immaculately clean and with square corners. Book's only flaw is relatively light marker streak through publisher's brown stain across top edges of textblock. DJ clean, price corner intact, no spine fading, pretty minor wear spine ends & some edge areas, has single real flaw of appx 1/2 inch x 1 inch serious surface scuff from partial removal of a garage sale price on brown paper tape. (This dj would probably rate VG+ without the front panel scuff, and I'd think that the white area of the scuff could be colorized-in sufficiently as to make it much less noticeable.) , Near Fine/Good.
