Default Woohoo! Lucked out with Heinlein book...
It's a first edition of The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, in 1985!!

I bought it on Amazon, for $0.50 plus $3.99 shipping/handling.

How's that for sheer luck?

Can't imagine there are too many left in decent shape - guard it well!

Dust cover?

I recently got a 1969 first edition book from Amazon for $7 and was surprised when
it showed up with a dust cover with only 1 tiny tear in it.
