Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. DJ flecked throughout with rub marks, rubbed through entirely on corners a few spots on spine, edges creased and nicked. Looks less damning because it has all been smoothed out behind a mylar protector and the red blue black colors retained some vivacity as a result. DJ is also price clipped. Book has erased bookseller pencilled prices and a binding loose enough to indicate it has been gently read, some rounding of spine as well. Book.
