Not as many ex-library traces as usual: stamp & cross-out on top page block, title page, last endpaper. Scored rectangle 1" by 2" at top left of back cover (does not show in scan.) Book is very tight and square; some traces on endpapers where dustjacket protector had been glued to book.

3000 copies printed.
