(price-clipped) [minor shelfwear, top corners slightly bumped, light dust-soiling to top edge, a touch of fading to cloth at top of spine, small bookstore stamp at bottom corner of front pastedown; jacket shows general wear at edges, small tears at a couple of corners, soiling to rear panel, spine title quite faded]. The author got a lot of literary mileage out of her experiences as "the glamorous young wife of a busy Westchester physician," this being her fourth book about the having and raising of his kids.
