Cloth very slightly rubbed on corners. Previous owner’s inscription [ as usual] to front free endpaper. Still, a very good copy, better than usually seen for this book. This book went through multiple printings of the first edition; the text and stories remained identical until 1955, when the second edition went to press. Any printing of the first edition is exceedingly rare in this collectible condition. The importance of this book and its central philosophy cannot be emphasized enough.
