Seller's Description:
illus. Good+/Good+ (see notes) 304pp. NO INTERNATIONAL OR PRIORITY. Inside of DJ shows some evidence of damp storage. Some warping of pp thoughout, no adhesion. No evidence the book got wet; rather, the problem seems to come from gradual absorbtion of moisture in damp storage conditions. Presents well on the shelf, but you need to be able to get past the rippling of the pages. There's a reason this is priced at the bottom end of what's available.
