Very good plus copy of stated first printing in very good minus mylared dust jacket. Book has some rubbing to head and foot of spine and top right section of front board appears to have been bumped. Since there is no evidence of the bump on the edges or front paste down, we believe that there was a production problem. The dust jacket is price-clipped, edgeworn, chipped at top and bottom of spine, foxed, tips chipped. Tan paper over boards and brown cloth spine, 148 pp. First English language edition of the author's second novel. The story of the idealistic heir of the Ceballos family.
