Seller's Description:
Very Good in Poor jacket. The delightful jacket has been got at by insects. sadly this has caused small holes in the back panel and to a lesser degree the spine. the front panel is unaffected. it could still be considered 'fair' as it still presents well in cellophane. the book itself is in very good condition indeed. there are no inscriptions and it appears very little used. there is some minor staining on the block of the book that could be sanded off.
I couldn't keep this book in my house. It creeped me out too much. This book is sick and neither lead is very likable. Its bothersome that much of the story is repeated due the switched of view points between Francis and Miranda. This is a truly awful book about the evils of human nature.
