Michener, James A. (edited by Peter Chaitin) THE BRIDGES AT TOKO-RI A Story of Individual Heroism
New York Random House 1953 1st Edition; 1st Printing Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
First edition, later variant with off-white endpapers and a faint remainder spray to the top edge of the text block. Spine ends & corners of book covers have a bit of light bumping and rubbing. Two-toned blue cloth covered boards have silver gilt and gilt lettering to the spine and a gilt rule to both front cover and spine. The blue cloth covers do show some toning / fading (especially the top color) and there are a couple of light spots of dirt. Text pages generally clean & bright-though starting to darken at the edges due to acid content of the paper. The endpapers are a solid off-white color with some noticeable toning / darkening to the spine hinges. There is a previous owner's ink stamp to both the front endpaper and the rear pastedown. The front endpaper also has the remnants of a small address sticker (the paper backing still has a portion adhered -- possible to remove with a bit of work). The top edge of the text block has some ground-in dirt and a faded blue spray remainder mark. The spine of the book has a light, but noticeable slant. The foredge and bottom edges of the text block have some toning / darkening due to sunning. Spine ends & corners of dust jacket have a bit of light bumping & rubbing. There is some light nicking / beginning edge tearing to the top edge of the dust jacket (noticeably at the top spine end) along with some light rubbing to the spine ends and corners of the dust jacket. The reverse of the dust jacket has some beginning toning to the edges. The dust jacket has been price clipped. There is a thin strip of rubbing down the middle of the dust jacket spine. Overall, a very good solid copy. "Specifically, it is a story of the men of a naval task force operating in the icy waters off the Korean shore with a vital mission to perform: to destroy with jet bombers the heavily guarded bridges at Toko-ri and thus to stop essential supplies from moving to the communist front lines. Mr. Michener has performed a miracle of story-telling by presenting this complicated operation in a way that is so vividly clear and breathtakingly dramatic that the reader not only understands but has a sense of being actually involved."
