There is some very light creasing on the pastedowns near the spine--other than this the interior is quite pristine. 

A Masque of Reason is one of Robert Frost's few published plays. The drama is a satirical take on the Book of Job—regarding itself as the '43rd' chapter of the Book of Job—and largely focused on a frustrated exchange between Job and God. The events of the play unfold over a single brief act.
