Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Harbrace Modern Classics reprint. Marked 1.8.59 with 1940 copyright. The book has minor shelfwear to the edges and corners of the covers, two small faint white smudges at the bottom of the front cover, loose hinges, a slightly shifted spine, toning to the interior of the covers, and an overall gentle aging to the pages, otherwise this book is in very good condition with crisp, unmarked pages, a tight binding, and a strong cover. The dustjacket has mild rubbing and surface scratching to both covers, shelfwear to the edges and corners of the jacket that has resulted in multiple small tears (approx 1/2 inch at largest) and creases most notable at the spine, an old paper price sticker on the back cover, the top corner clipped from the front jacket flap, and light smudging across the back cover, otherwise the dustjacket is in fair condition, intact and attractive, and is now in an archival protective mylar.
