The dustwrapper is present: Off-white paper printed on the upper panel with the same information as is on the title page. It is soiled and faded, and lacks pieces at the head and tail of the spine and at the fold.

First editions of the Teasing Monkey are scarce to begin with; copies in dustwrapper are basically unheard of.
