Seller's Description:
Good. Reliable hardcover edition in a full dust jacket. Some scuff and a bit of age fade to the dust jacket. Some shelf wear to the covers and the page edge. The text flows clearly from beginning to end. Tight binding! This edition is PRESENTABLE.
"Pilgermann" is an extraordinary and fascinating book. Russell Hoban, the author, is not as well known as he should be in his native America, because he has lived in England for many years. But all his books are very well worth reading!
