Stuttering Parrot - First Silverback Printing. This is perhaps the nicest copy I've ever encountered, it's

even nicer than the one in my personal collection. Usually the silver coating is

scuffed to some degree and there is faint evidence of that on this book but, my, it's

probably about as nice as can be found. Just a hint of wear to the edges of the

cover, inside the book is like new, possibly never read. A choice example for the

discriminating collector. $35.00
