The Book of Amos: A Commentary (The Old Testament Library)

The contents of the book are Very Good or better: no previous owner signature, no penciled price, no marks of any kind inside the book: totally pristine. On the other hand, the binding and dust jacket have a serious bit of damage on the upper outer corner of the back of the book. See picture 3 for what they look like together, picture 4 for how they look separately (not nearly as bad). It looks like someone somehow ran over the book with a very small bicycle: despite the black streak, the back cover is all there and as flat as it should be except for the black groove, gouge, or whatever you want to call it. The front of the dust jacket also has a diagonal crease in the upper right area (picture 1) but that is only on the dust jacket: see picture 2 for the undamaged front binding. In sum, maybe I should average out the inside and outside of the book itself and call the condition 'Good' rather than 'Very Good'. It hardly matters as long as you read the description and look at the pictures and know exactly what you're getting.…
