Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. [Date from the copyright page.] First Printing. Introduction, Two Essays, End Notes; 128 pages. The original green cloth, with beige cloth on the spine, is in excellent shape; corners are square, black-lettering is bold on the spine, and a cross-in-blind adorns the upper board. The interior is fresh, crisp, and completely clean. The original dust jacket has its price ($2.75) but shows some wear, with a sunned spine and several chips; one closed tear at the spine base. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] There is a picture of Pieper on the rear panel with a blurb from T.S. Eliot: "His sentences are admirably constructed, his ideas expressed with the maximum clarity. But his mind is submissive to what he believes to be the great, the main tradition of European thought. . . . He restores to their position in philosophy what common sense obstinately tells us ought to be found there: 'insight and wisdom'." As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage.
