Original price was: $68.00.$55.08Current price is: $55.08.
This is a "very good" vintage hardcover in pictorial wraps. No loose, torn or folded pages, aside from an inscription by Ms. Atwood: "To Ruth - Best Wishes - Margaret Atwood", no writing. Binding hinges are intact, not split, text block closes tightly. Board corners are crisp, minimal to no wear at tips. Inside the front cover, the original owner has laid in a page from the New York Times Book Review dated December 29, 1996, with a full page article discussing the release of this, Ms. Atwood's then, latest novel.
