Book has no defects. Covers are clean and unworn, binding is tight, pages are crisp and unmarked. Book appears unread. Jacket has a couple of very minor flaws: slight wear at one corner, slight fading of spine, crease to front flap, now protected by fresh mylar cover. This is a beautiful copy, NOT a book club edition, with price of $7.95 on the jacket flap. . Author's third book, and a very good one indeed. . 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 408 pages. Adventure. Modern Fiction. Africa. Mercenaries
