Wollheim First DAW Books printing, July 1976 This one is in very good condition. Minor creasing near the top edge of the front cover. The back cover is free of blemishes - just a minor tan. The spine is super clean - no reading crease, honestly some pretty crisp edges on this one. This one has maintained the most yellow on the spine. The spine is intact and the pages are clean and I don’t see any visible stains or tears within. Overall very good condition. — These annuals are all in just about the same condition: pretty great aside from the loss of the bright yellow spines - just faded over time. These don’t smell beyond the normal paperback smell. I will repeat just in case I need to point out anything major. — (2of6) The 1972 Annual World’s Best SF edited by Donald A.
