Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 1959 USA HARDCOVER. The copyright page has "FIRST EDITION" printed on it, but this is a Book Of The Month Club printing. Rosove's excellent bibliography indicates this is the first US edition, not noting there being any other 1959 USA editions; however, evidence unknown to Rosove indicates that there was a first edition with publisher's price on the jacket and no dimple on the rear cover corner. This book has a dimple in the lower inside corner of the rear cover which indicates it is a Book Of The Month publication. However, I once had a McGraw-Hill first USA edition 1959 that did not have a dimple on the rear cover corner (it has the publisher's book identification number there) and had a dust jacket with a different rear panel and had the publisher's price printed on the flap corner. The Book Of The Month Club version does not have a price printed on the flap corner of the dust jacket. CONDITION: Original navy covers and spine with teal colored outside areas of front and rear cover, silver lettering spine. The book has clean covers, two 1cm wrinkle marks rear cover where original cloth was laid over loose thread or something similar during the manufacturing process (somewhat hard to see), no foxing, no previous owner marks or writing on any pages, solid binding. The original dust jacket has 15mm tear top front spine crease with shallow loss, slight fading to spine, rubbing at folds and on rear panel where the teal and navy sections meet. Overall the book and jacket are in better condition that what is normally found for this page-turner. The book measures 218mm tall x 140mm, and has 282 pages, EP map, 17 b/w photos.
