They say a great judge is known by his dissents, but a great book collector is known by their dust jackets. Finding this text block in any condition is a win; finding it with its original $4.50 unclipped wrapper still guarding the boards is an absolute triumph. PROVENANCE: Features a clean, charming mid-century law student signature to the front flyleaf dated 1964 from Dickinson College (Kappa Sigma fraternity marker). CONDITION: Very Good antiquarian condition. The book structurally is crisp, square, and completely firm with an uncracked binding. Pages are clean, cream-colored, and entirely free of highlight markings, damp stains, or dog-ears. The rare original dust jacket is unclipped ($4.50 price intact) and displays beautifully, showing typical light vintage shelf-toning, surface storage smudging, and minor edge chipping/creasing to the spine tips and flap folds as fully documented in the photos.
