Fine (prev. own stamp on the half title page in dust jacket with original $25 price intact; jacket has some toning to the spine and short closed tear bottom of spine fold and light wear at the spine extremities and a small nick upper top edge of the front panel. In the floral decorated heavy cardboard slipcase (which is often absent) with toning to the light colored sections and some wear at one outer edge . One of the most desirable and uncommon of Asimov's non-science fiction works, his own form of illumination to one of the great English language epic poems, Lord Byron's "Don Juan". Written between 1819 and 1824,t he work's classical and contemporary allusions are often lost on today's readers. Asimov remedies this with his thorough, informative and concise footnotes; Milton Glazer compliments the work with his witty, original drawings that highlight the poet's satiric attack on hypocrisy, complacency, and greed.
