(Random House's convention at the time was to indicate first printings with the statement "First Edition," with numberline beginning with 2, which is how this copy reads. Second printings would drop the First Edition statement.) Ex-library with four identical library stamps only one of which is prominent. The library stamps are on pages 93, 153, 273, and the prominent one is on the title page (same page as signature). No stickers and no other markings noted.

Binding remains tight, but has clearly been read and handled. There is a 1/4" x 3/4" water stain affecting the first eight leaves, which includes the signature page.
