It's in lovely shape, considering it probably actually is 50 years old, and the paper dust jacket lacks a library-style mylar sheaf. (The actual cover is black hardcover, with white lettering on the spine.) The first image is the entirety of the copyright page. It's worth more than the buck-sixty I spent on it, but I'm not sure how much more--early book club edition copies seem to run anywhere from $25 to about $450, depending on the impression or printing or condition or author's signature. That's in comparison to non book club first editions, which seem to fall more in the $600 to $27 000 range.
The cover image sure beats the image on my paperback copy, which seems to be the most common mass-market version.
