A US paperback edition – Ace 47401. Undated.
Some tanning to pages. The coloured edges of the book have bled a little into the edges of the page faces. The book covers have been encased in a plastic cover at tome time in their life and this has left tape marks on the first and last pages. It has also caused some discolouration to the inside of the front and back covers. At the back of the book there is a list of Ace titles, and someone has ticked them off in pencil.
The covers, which are a little grubby, are showing signs of wear to the extremities. Rubbed at edges. Some minor damage to bottom edge of rear cover. Tiny crease across top right-hand corner of front cover.

But they build into the formula certain weaknesses of their own degenerate culture…”
