No other marks. No highlights, rips or tears. Absolutely incredible illustrations. Book and jacket like new. This would make a wonderful gift! (1122DB)
This is a huge book of line drawings covering many different topics, including nature, anatomy, mechanical, ships, and most anything else you can think of. The art work is high quality. Now that I have gone through it over and over, I will be re-purposing it to cut out illustrations to include in multi-media collage art. I highly recommend this book!
