Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Later pr. SIGNED by AUTHOR on the title page. Book is square, solid, and unread. In protective archival bag. Once this treasured tome from Tanjecterly has arrived at your stately manse of Trilda, youll retire to the parlor and a light repast of wine and cheese, melon and water fowl, before focusing your attention on its many and varied excellences, composed, as it is, of sandestin stuff hopefully Grofinet wont choose this moment for a spontaneous lecture on the Egyptian pyramids! NOTE: VERY light evidence of edgewear and age-toning. Also, this is sort of hard to describe, but the bottom end of the book was bumped at some point, but it doesn't affect the way the spine looks, it affects the way the back of the cover looks near the spine, but only the cover, and not the pages.
