Description: First edition, first printing hardcover copy of Mumbo Jumbo by Ishmael Reed (Doubleday & Company, 1972). Very rare true first edition of this bizarre dark fiction novel, iconic in its own right. For fans of Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon, Perceval Everett and others. With illustrations and photographs. A controversial and experimental novel. Jacket is protected in new archival sleeve but with moderate wear, especially around the edges. Tears and creases towards top of spine which has been taped over. Chipping, creases and small tears elsewhere around the edges and faint bit of liquid damage to bottom edge of front cover, mostly visible only on interior side. Boards largely straight and clean but with corners bumped and faint discoloration to bottom edge of front board. Slight spine lean though binding remains firm. All pages are clean and unmarked save for a few dog-eared pages and general tanning from age. See photos for condition. Packaged with care and shipped via USPS Media Mail
