This rare treasure has some very clearly visible wear, but is still in Highly Desirable, Highly Collectible condition! The wear, however, is considerable and should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. The book appears gently read and has no internal writing, no remainder marks, no missing pages and is NOT Ex-Libris. The binding is holding tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean! Some general/shelf wear along with creases/scuffing/wear to the spine/corners/boards, marks/foxing/wear to the edge/fore pages and creases/wear to the pages, NOT affecting the text! There are also a few small but noticeable rips near/along the edges of a few of the pages. Please note the wear to the spine/corners/boards, particularly noticeable near/along the edges and on the spine, the numerous marks on the edge/fore pages, particularly noticeable on the top edge pages, and the wear that is present on the pages, particularly noticeable on certain pages. The wear to the spine is considerable and has resulted in some very noticeable indentations/altering of the shape. The numerous marks on the top edge pages are quite large. While all of the pages are present and fully attached, one can clearly see some space/separation along the top and bottom edges of the spine, (the area that connects the spine to the pages). All of the wear previously mentioned is considerable and very clearly visible! The wear should be carefully examined/considered. The original dust jacket is fully intact but has extensive wear! Some general/shelf wear along with creases, scuffing, marks and rips. There are also some marks/discoloration on the inside of the dust jacket! Please note the wear on the spine, at the corners and near/along the edges. The wear, particularly near/along the edges, is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear. Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear to both the book and the dust jacket is considerable and very clearly visible! All of the wear should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!! Payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed. Please feel free to contact us with any and all questions. We are very proud of our 100% positive feedback/ranking and offer an easy, no questions asked return policy so you can buy with confidence! Thank you!!
