About this Item

The book itself is spotless inside and out. Two lower cover corner tips are each just slightly turned in, otherwise the book is free of wear or damage. The dust jacket is just slightly soiled but has much wear to edges and seams. It has a few tiny chips and a few small tears, the longest of which is about 1.5". Book and dust jacket will be bubble-wrapped and carefully packed in a sturdy box to ensure safe transit.
