A square solid tight over-all clean copy that if it was read it was done so very carefully. This copy has pagedges that are age browning with just a bit of foxing. The plain paper jacket shows a bit of soil, some minor edgewear and some foxing. Over-all a pretty nice copy of a book that is getting harder and harder to find all the time. Gann is the author of "The High and the Mighty" among others books. This is his 8th novel.
