Fair. An acceptable and readable copy. All pages are intact, and the spine and cover are also intact. This item may have light highlighting, writing or underlining through out the book, curled corners, missing dust jacket and or stickers.
Interesting info about sewing evening attire and various special fabrics; Mr. King's reputation is built on techniques that this book entails and are not widely known. I may not need all of them, but for the ones I will use, this is worthwhile.

cool but usable?
This book's material is really COOL, but not very usable for the average home sewist. It is an interesting read, though.
