Michael Crichton “Congo” Vintage first edition hardcover novel 1980 Dustjacket

This is a “very good” vintage hardcover in two-color wraps – black paper boards over maroon cloth spine, published in 1980 by Knopf. First edition, as stated on the copyright page.

Tight vintage hardcover with crisp, solid binding. No loose, torn or folded pages, no writing. Board corners are crisp, not bumped. Spine head and heal lightly bumped, with upper edges showing some sunning to the cloth, the black board wraps remains uniform. Small scuff to the front paste down. Text block edges are relatively uniform, lower spine edge showing a faint tidemark, upper edge mildly dusted from shelf life. Golden lettering on spine is somewhat rubbed.

Matching vintage dust wrapper is complete, not clipped, showing original price inside front flap. Has some small edge chips here and there, most notable at spine edges. Spine is somewhat sunned, red lettering faded; lower edge shows very faint tide mark. Now protected in a removable archival sleeve.
