Seller's Description:
Very Good in Good jacket. The boards are rubbed, marked and edge worn, but remain strong and whole. The dust jacket has some evidence of damp damage; it is warped and creased. it is also edge worn and marked. Despite this, the dust jacket remains whole, bright and legible. Internally, there is a previous retailer's bookplate on the front pastedown, and the front and back end pages are rather foxed and marked. This does not extend into the body of the book, which remains clean, crisp and complete. The binding is strong, and it is presented and preserved well in cellophane. JV.K.
