Hardback book with laminated pictorial board covers (near fine) in dust jacket (very good). A couple of very minor knocks on the boards otherwise the main book would be like new. A little light shelf wear at the top edge of the jacket and small chip at the top of the jacket spine. No other chips or tears on the jacket. The jacket has been fitted with a clear protective cover which enhances its appearance (not a former library book). Mailed the same or next working day in a cardboard book box.
