Very good copy in attractive original dust jacket with the uncommon publisher's promotional wraparound band. The jacket is very good but presents as nearly fine due to some touch-ups which are visible on the verso-side only. The book has some minor foxing to page edges, a minor stain along bottom edge, and a small store sticker on front paste-down. One of Ballard's toughest titles to find in collectible condition.
