THIS IS A NEW BOOK HOWEVER THE COVER HAS A BIT OF SHELF WEAR WITH SOME SCUFF OR SOIL MARKS AND A DARK LINE ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK COVERS (I HAVE SCANNED THE COVER SO YOU CAN SEE FOR YOUR SELF) THE INSIDE OF THE BOOK IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND THE PROBLEMS ARE ON THE COVER. LOTS OF BLACK AND WHITE AND COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS ON HEAVY STOCK PAPER. Beautiful coffee table book on the T'boli tribe of Lake Sebu and the unique cloth they weave called T'nalak. Chapters include: Who are the T'boli? What is T'nalak? Kedungon: The Abaca Fiber Colors and Patterns of Dreams The Backstrap Loom Folio: The weavers and their T'nalak
