GNOMES by WIL HUYGEN 1977 First American Edition HC/DJ VG+ RIEN POORTVLIET

Description: JUST A QUICK NOTE. THIS BOOK IS NOT SIGNED AND ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THE BOOKS PURPORTEDLY HAVING BEEN SIGNED ARE ACTUALLY SIGNED. ALL COPIES OF THE BOOK HAVE THE TWO "SIGNATURES" IN (PHOTO 5 & 7) FIRST AMERICAN EDITION; ABRAMS 1977. Copyright page has two columns of three lines each (PHOTO 4). After the initial success of the book, more credit was given to other contributors, (like "handwriting & headings and translation). The ISBN is only on the jacket and not on the copyright page in the first printing. DUST JACKET IS COMPLETE WITH AGE RELATED PAPER TONING AND HANDLING CREASES. INSIDE OF A PROTECTIVE SLEEVE THAT I DID NOT REMOVE. THE BOOK IS EFFECTIVELY IN FINE CONDITION. PAGES ARE BRIGHT, CRISP AND CLEAN. THE TOP EXPOSED PAGE EDGES HAVE LIGHT SPOTTING FROM A FEW DECADES OF DUST (PHOTO 15). THE REAR END PAPER HAS A SMALL EDGE SCUFF (PHOTO 14- With scissor point showing location). I FOUND NO OTHER CONDITION ISSUES. NO WRITING, NO TEARS, NO STAMPS, NO CREASES. TIGHT AND SQUARE BINDING. JACKET HAS NO TEARS BUT DOES HAVE HANDLING CREASES, ESPECIALLY AT THE TITLE ON THE FRONT PANEL BOOK- FINEDUST JACKET- VERY GOOD PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION ON ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. clown
