The Bicycle Wheel
Menlo Park, California: Avocet, Inc., [1981]. First printing. Hardcover. 9 1/4 by 7 1/4 inches; 235 by 181 mm. 139 pages. Hardcover, in very good condition. Solidly bound, and clean but for a few stray marks, mild evidence of having been put to use in a shop setting: The rear cover has outlines of small liquid stains near the lower right corner, the spine has one small white mark, and pages 89 to 94 have a few thumbprint-sized light yellow marks that do not obscure any text or illustrations. One leaf (pages 79-80) has a one-inch crease at the upper corner. Item #413
