About This Item
First American Edition. tiny amount of sunning to top edge of boards, very slight rubbing to bottom edges, but overall the book is tight and clean. The printer was overzealous with glue used in binding and as a result a spot of glue seeped along bottom of rear paste down of end paper and stuck to forward edge of the REP; there is no damage but REP does not turn freely as it should. Interior is clean and bright. Jacket is very clean and bright with only 2 very tiny chips, one at upper corner of spine, and the other at bottom corner. No other defects.

I prefer to ship international orders by air because of delays and other issues that can frequently occur. I will refund postage overages, after shipping and insurance costs are calculated and confirmed. I do not charge for packing materials or handling.
