Both the book and dust jacket are in quite beautiful condition. You can see the blue covers of the book in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. I don't see any soiling. The white lettering on the spine is nicely bright. The spine ends are in very good shape, no crinkling or wrinkling. There are one or two speck-sized spots of rubbing on each of the front and rear sides of the spine. The same is the case at the corners. The cover edges are in excellent shape, no rubbing. The page edges are perfectly clean. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in terrific condition. The yellow inside covers and end papers are perfectly clean and free of any wear. The exact same words apply to all the pages in the book. I'm not finding any instances of soiling or creasing. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The dust jacket is in wonderful condition. I have always had it in a fitted protective cover. There is no soiling on the jacket. There are no tears. I don't see any creasing. There's one little, thin scratch at the bottom corner of the front cover. The flaps are in excellent shape, very clean, no tears, no creases. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. From the dust jacket: 'Hockney's Pictures is the first definitive 'retrospective' to show the evolution and diversity of Hockney's prolific paintings, drawings, watercolors, prints, and photography, including new and published works. The pieces, presented thematically, are selected and organized by David Hockney himself, and track Hockney's lifelong experiments in ways of looking and depicting.'.
