Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good Minus. 1st Edition. I believe this is the First Edition (NAP). 1966 is on the title page. There is no other date and no reference to any additional printings. This book is unique for having its dust jacket. I checked out all the book sites and couldn't find even one other non-library copy with a dust jacket. I purchased this book directly from the library of the former Assistant Secretary of War and High Commissioner Of Postwar Germany, John J. McCloy. However, he did not write his name in the book. He did take very good care of it. You can get a sense of that from looking at the photos of the covers. They are exceptionally clean (helps to have a dust jacket). The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. The corners are in excellent shape. So are the edges. And the page edges are quite clean. Finally, the book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers. The only wear (pretty amazing) is a little bit of the typical crinkling at the spine ends. The interior of the book is in exceptional condition as well. I've scrolled through the pages a good number of times without finding any instances of soiling (the pages also have a nice semi-glossy feel to them). I'm also not finding any instances of creasing. You might begin to wonder whether Mr. McCloy ever opened this book. In fact we know that he did because he did something that I don't think I've seen him do before in any of his books: he wrote a few lightly penned lines in the margin next to a paragraph or sentence of interest. He didn't do much of this: there are a few lines next to a sentence involving the German government on page 392 and one penned line next to a paragraph on page 393, he also underlined a word (interdependence) on page 397 and wrote an abbreviated word (deg) in the margin to the right of it. There are also a couple of lines in the margin next to two short paragraphs on page 402, and a very light check mark next to a paragraph on page 406. I believe that's it. I didn't see any other writing anywhere else in the book. Nor are there any attachments of any kind. You can see the only dust jacket for sale in the first few photos. It's held up pretty well. It does have small tears off the top edge of the spine (not reaching the lettering). There is some scuffing at the bottom edge of the spine and off the bottom edge of the rear cover where there are also three small edge tears. There's rubbing at the four corners, and there's the imprint of a paper clip off the top edge of the front. There is no such imprint anywhere in the book. The flaps are in solid condition, very clean (the rest the jacket is also clean). There are tiny tucking-in clips at the four corners, but they are too tiny to have clipped the price, so I can say that the jacket did not ever contain a price, which is not uncommon with academic books. The jacket will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. Henry Kissinger, by the way, wrote the Introduction to this book. A review shortly after the book was published stated: 'There have been a considerable number of studies of American foreign policy since Marshall Aid began, but this book can be fairly described as the best informed, the most judicious and quite the most useful study of American policy towards post-war Europe that has thus far been written by a European. But the author is something more than a European, and certainly a most gifted one. For this is the view of an insider who has a rare combination of knowledge and judgment.' And that's when I get the message that I do not currently have access to this article!
