About This Item
302 Pages. Stated: First American Edition and by the full number line. The dust jacket is Not price-clipped.
These two Czechoslovakian novels are in a dust jacket that is in Fine condition. The interior book would also be, but for a remainder mark on the bottom and some mildew speckling on the closed book's right and top page edges. Outside of those items, there are no visible extraneous markings throughout the book or visible detriments or distractions and thus all of the book's printing is in a very well-preserved and enjoyable condition and the book's sewn-in bindings remain tight and therefore are sound.
If you order this interesting pair of novels in one book from us, the book will be carefully wrapped up, then padded and boxed and mailed right away to you with both tracking and insurance on it and will come with our genuine appreciation for your order.
