Norwalk, Connecticut: The Easton Press. Near Fine. Hardcover. Book is sealed in publisher's shrinkwrap. This book is 12.5 inches tall. As with most tall Easton Press books that are too tall to fit on a standard size bookshelf, the previous owner stored this book flat on the shelf. Over time, storing tall Easton Press books in this manner causes the spine to slightly bend or warp up (away from the shelf). This book has a right leaning bend to its spine. The book is as new because it was never opened and is still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. It's actual condition is Near Fine because of the subtle rightward warp of the spine. I bought this book from an Easton Press subsriber who never opened it. Ships same or next business day. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall .
