Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Harvest edition 1985, 1st printing. Translated by Marc E. Heine. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Near Fine condition.

Pristine 37-year-old paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square binding w/no creases in spine, minor foxing to edges & slight used-bookstore smell.…
