A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

This hardcover edition shows typical signs of wear for an ex-library book. The blue cloth cover has some scuff marks and tape residue. The spine and binding remain intact, though the absence of a dust jacket may affect its collectibility. Library stamps are present on the title and copyright pages, but the text is clean and legible throughout.
