156 pages (complete). A pleasing copy of this extraordinarily powerful, austere novel. The dustjacket has wear, scuffing. The spine has been sunned. The boards are simple, assured, sound. The frontispage has a previous owner signature. The paper-trims are a little foxed and marked from storage. The contents though, are mild mannered. There are very occasional marks about the edges from storage. In general, and by far, the pages are clean, clear, healthy, assured, comfortable, placid. fk. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Good
