Well, there is good news, and there is bad news. First the good: this is the true first edition. the Cupples & Leon imprint is the second edition, despite what some folks seem to think. Now the bad news: a dog. The upper front corner of the book has been chewed, damaging an area about 1" by 1". There are a couple of smaller tooth marks on the top of the front cover, and to the first few pages. The book would otherwise have been "very fine." I alway say "you find them the way you fine them," and this is a prime example. Hopefully they euthanized the dog, but that is probably too much to hope for. Yes, I like dogs, or at least some dogs.; Hardcover; 5 1/2 x 8"
