Seller's Description:
Hunt, Lynn Bogue. Very good in very good dust jacket. Near fine, see below. Blue cloth over boards. This is number 707 of a limited edition of 950 copies. Near-Fine copy with some limitations. There appears to be slight fading of spine and lettering compared to the lettering on the front board, see photos. There is also very slight rubbing of the spine ends. Also present are two nameplates. Internally the book is excellent. For some reason, photos that I submit are rotated when shown and, despite much effort and consultation, I cannot correct it. My apologies.
