Short Leash

This hardcover edition shows significant wear, with the green cloth cover exhibiting fading and scuff marks. The spine and corners are slightly frayed, indicative of its age. The binding remains intact, though the lack of a dust jacket and any additional inscriptions or library markings suggest it has been well-preserved over the years.
