Spine ends & corners of book cover have a bit of very light bumping and rubbing. Tan paper covered boards have brown lettering to the front cover and spine of the book. Text pages are clean & bright. Top edge of book has some light foxing / spotting. Spine ends & corners of dust jacket have a bit of light bumping, rubbing & edge wear. There are several small edge tears to dust jacket in general with two longer tears to top rear edge of dust jacket (one going down about 1/ 3rd of the dust jacket, the other about two inches in length). Overall, a very good+ copy. "A widow is in distress, her attentive, very wealthy swain, and his overly-protective nieces and nephews provide Perry Mason with one of the most challenging cases of his brilliant legal career. It all began when the attractive Mrs. Anson came to Perry Mason for advice on how to handle a shadow - a real, live shadow, that is."
