A Shadow of Himself
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1972. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Very Good/Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #002709
Sharp First Edition, First Printing. Review copy with notice laid in of this fairly uncommon bibliomystery. Original tan paper-covered boards with reddish cloth spine. Square, tight and very clean throughout. Some off-setting to front-paste-down and a what looks like a printing defect that has pulled out the bottom couple of inches of the half-title page but no loss whatsoever. Equally attractive unclipped black pictorial jacket, ($4.95), has some rubbing and very light edge-wear but a very fresh, bright example of a solid black, unfaded wrapper. An excellent collectable copy of Delving's, (pseudonym of Jay Williams), fourth book.
