Is that a reprint or the original? If it is the original, you have a collector's item! Most of the copies got destroyed when the manager of the bookstore left them in a storeroom under the swimming pool and they got wet from leakage from the pool.
I contributed a copy which I purchased more than 25 years ago to the library across the street.
One thing I regret is that I did not have it autographed by Stokoe for hearing borrowers to see.
I bought mine in 1983, and I even met Stokoe in 1984 and took a ride in his car with him. Stupidly, it didn't even occur to me to think about asking him to sign it. I left it at home!
Mine is a later edition (1980s?) but still has the same cover as the one you show (Linstok Press). Important volume in my library, especially helpful when describing parts of signs for ASL/interpreting students. Helps to distinguish between 26 English/manual alphabet characters and the dez-tab-sig phonemes/cheremes proposed by Stokoe and his graduate students.
