Hardcover. Etat : Good. 1st Edition. First English Edition (Henry Schuman=NAP). I have priced this book at half the price of the next least expensive 1951 First English edition, not entirely because I am such a generous person. Because of quite a little oddity, the Editor's Preface (two pages/four sides) was excised from the book. I've never seen that before. Those are the only pages missing and the binding is excellent. So you have the blank front end paper, then the title page (which is in excellent condition), the verso of which has the copyright page, then there's the Contents Page (the verso of which has the Author's Acknowledgment), and then the Introduction. The Introduction begins on page xi. The Contents page lists the Editor's Preface as beginning on page vii. You can see the covers in the photos. They are in solid condition, no conspicuous soiling. There is a little dent on the front cover a little bit up from the bottom edge, and there is a scratch on the rear cover up a little from its bottom edge (see photo). There's also a crease under the top edge of the spine, and there is a tiny loss at the same top edge. The cover edges are in excellent shape. The cover corners have small spots of rub-through. The page edges are very clean. The white lettering on the spine looks good. The book is square and the spine is straight. As mentioned, the binding is very solid. The pages are nicely tight from cover to cover and the covers are nicely tight as well. The white inside covers and end papers are very clean. The same can be said for all the pages in the book. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. I'm also not finding any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases, no turned-down corners. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere.
