Paingod and Other Delusions

The book is in fair condition with noticeable wear along the edges and spine, consistent with its age. The cover displays some creasing and small tears, but the binding remains intact. There is no dust jacket, as this is a paperback edition. The pages are slightly yellowed, typical for publications from this period, but free from inscriptions or library markings.
