1979 edition. The dust jacket has seen better days, has tears, tape, and stains on it, although still legible and the artwork is in pretty good shape. The book itself has a little bit of spine wear where the board has gotten squished, pictured, but still very readable and in good shape otherwise. #hardcover#chcherryh#vintage#vintagehardback#vintagehardcover#scifi#scificlassics#1970s#fantasy#thefadedsunsaga
