Yerby, Frank - The Serpent and the Staff

A bright UK first edition.

WRAPPER : The evocative period wrapper on this copy is bright, unfaded, complete and unclipped. The front panel is bright and clean. The spine is unfaded and fresh. It shows a touch of rubbing at the head. The white back panel is sound, showing trivial bruising at the top edge. Looks very sharp.

BOOK : The book is square and very tight. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. The boards are clean and unfaded, the corners sharp. The spine ends show inconsequential bruising. The pages are clean and fresh. The closed page edges are bright and unmarked. No foxing. The binding is tight - no cracked hinges. A very bright copy in a protected wrapper.
