1st edition. In orange cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine (boards just a little bruised at spine ends, spine a tad faded). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. "What makes the novel good is what makes Saroyan good. In this case his wonderful satires on army life, wangling , and the weird fauns of his private universe. What makes it bad is the overdose of soliloquies, hymns and plain mutterings on love, death life and the appeasement of divine wrath by means of scapegoat."
