The best personal introduction I can devise for this thread is to show you what I discovered under a nicely lit tree a couple of days ago:

But I'm getting well ahead of myself. Instead of a lump of spousal coal I ended up with a book that I'd really wanted (major drool factor); I must've been one heckuva lot less naughty than I thought this past year (go figure)!

 

This is now one of the centerpieces of my collection; I'm still in awe.

 

Any of you guys have similar experiences???

i've had a couple funny-books under the tree, and one a 'frisco [not known at the time, tho']. gotta say, yours is some kinda stocking-stuffer.

Thanks guys; mighty nice welcome.

 

Here is a book I purchased a couple of weeks back; it was one of those "right place - right time" deals and the price was definitely right. The book has some minor restoration (upper right-hand corner appears to have been reattached or tear sealed). I was a little concerned by about the possibility of trimming, but the interior doesn't look trimmed and the cover printing is off-set a bit; maybe someone can gauge this better than I can.

 

Overall this book has a F/VF appearance with off-white pages:
