NEAR FINE (Near Pristine) book in NEAR FINE (Near Pristine) A clean, bright, tight copy with NO previous owner's names nor other owner markings. Very clean inside and out. Tips and ends sharp. Top and outside page edge show some very minor light foxing. No smudges, no dog ears, no signs of handling. In a beautiful bright pictorial dust jacket with original price of $10.00 on front flap, and only some minuscule wear amounting to a tiny nick or two at the spine ends. Nice.
A short novel by Calvino concerning a group of
travelers who are struck dumb and can communicate their stories only
through Tarot cards, recounted and described by a narrator. Illustrating Calvino's novel
is an 8-page middle photographic section with a number of high quality color photographs of an important 15th century Italian Tarot deck (the oldest known surviving deck in existence), and line drawings of an 18th century deck throughout. Well-illustrated series of fantasies based on the Tarot.
A lovely clean copy in collector's condition/gift-giving condition.
