Dustjacket. 307pp. Light wear to extremities, a pretty well read copy with some thumbmarks and grubbyness here and there, some light sunning to the edges of the boards, in a dustjacket with some wear and chipping to the spine ends, sunning, and a couple of pinholes. Internally clean. About very good mainly by dint of being strong, solid, and the association, but normally it would just be a good copy. Inscribed by the author to the front flyleaf:
"For Donald, Some secrets, now exposed. With Best Wishes, Anne Beattie, Richmond, 1991"
