To tell you all truthfully, this was my own copy in high school back in the later half of the 1960s. I don’t think this qualifies as an antique, but it is 60 years old and in better shape than I am. If you want this, I hope you get out of it more than I did, as I detested having to read this in Old English for an advanced English course I was required to take for college by a teacher who was ultimately drier than the Sahara desert. Ugh! It is still in good shape. All the corners are unbent.And I’m pretty sure it is close to a first edition.
