Book club editions of this are findable, with patience. Actual publisher's editions are really hard to find. Book has 1/8" spinal tilt; light to moderate overall wear, Most of the usual ex-library traces are present: small stamp on credits-page, stamped letter and marker line on top page block; pocket on front endpaper (with "officially withdrawn" stamp), tape-traces where DJ in protector was taped to the book. DJ has light wear - the kind that gets through a dustjacket protector over time. DJ protector took most of the wear and has been discarded. For the first collection by a famous SF author, this is in pretty good shape, and not worn out.

Le Guin's first collection of stories - an impressive debut that shows a large range in the kinds of stories she can tell (award wins and nominations are noted.) I strongly recommend this as one of the best SF collections by anybody.
