$42.00
This is a "near fine" vintage paperback published in Great Britain in 1966 by Badger Books. Edition is not indicated. This book is "as new" having no signs it has ever been read. I have seen "new" books in Barnes and Nobles that are not as nice as this little gem! The only real flaw to call out is a light dent in the upper front cover spine corner.
