Description:
This book is in near fine condition with a tiny scuff to the front hardboard. The dust jacket is nearly perfect but has some very minute wear at the top right corner and at the top of the spine. Otherwise, a nearly perfect book. The pages are clean and crisp, and the binding is sturdy and crisp, as well.
