Sci-fi and horror makes this cover a classic. The book grades VG. The following defects keep the book from grading higher: the spine has stress, the single staple has some small tears on each side, there is a date stamp in the right corner of the splash page, the inside cover has some tanning, especially along the left side, the back cover has the same along the right, the back cover also has a dust shadow along the edges, never wider that ¼” as well as a small, 1/16” chip missing on the left at the center. The pages are cream to off-white.
