The Magus Music

The Magus MusicBoston: Little, Brown & Co., 1965 First edition. A near fine copy in a near fine, unclipped dust jacket. The jacket showing very slight edgewear, a bit of sunning to the spine, and a little remnant from sticker removal at the top of the front flap. A very nice example of the postmodern classic, chosen by the Modern Library as one of the 100 greatest novels of the Century.

Fine in a fine dust jacket - an exceptional copy

” A touch of offsetting to the verso of the dust jacket -  not apparent at the front

only with a little crease at the bottom corner of the front flap

A lean to the spine and only the slightest wear to the unclipped dust jacket

A little smudge to the fore edge of the outer text block

with no later printings mentioned on the copyright page
