Seller's Description:
Good Condition. Cover shows minor signs of use, including one or two marks and bumped. Text unmarked and uncreased. Bindings firm and secure, spine intact. Overall, in good shape. Publisher's note: "This is the first general introduction to collapsibles-objects that, in one way or another, fold out for action and fold up for storage. 'Collapsible' used as a noun is a neologism. This book is the first to use the world to refer to any object that is in some way collapsible, rather than to describe it in terms of that quality. The selection of objects illsutrated in this book are heavily biased towards ingenuity. This book is not a manual, but an album for inspiration." Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
