Thus, this book, published near the apex of his career, recaps the competence of age while capturing the essence of youth, and becomes, we believe, his finest book" - Kimes 299 Condition: Small chips to jacket at spine tips, some soiling; volume with slight bumps at spine ends and faint rubbing at extremities; near fine volume in very good or better jacket.
