Blue cloth with brilliant gilt lettering on spine and blind-stamped Publisher logo at center front cover; light foxing speckles sprinkled on top edge, a few on fore-edge and lower edge; light foxing spots on inside rear cover, mainly around perimeter; thinnest lines of wear across very top of spine ends; bottom right front cover corner with two small wrinkles, as if corner bumped, but corner still square; top left rear cover corner has small creases from bump, but seen on inside of cover corner only, corner on outside looks square, unbumped; ffep has been removed with only two short, small bits of page remaining at hinge, ostensibly an inscription from previous owner removed. Light gray dustwrapper not price-clipped ('6s.net') with title, author and publisher names lettering in dark green in a column down right center front cover, with green linear decorative elements.

The way to read in French a Religious-Philosophical Classic 75 years old.…

Shipping terms
All domestic orders will be sent by USPS Media Mail, unless some other mode of shipping is requested or required and accepted in advance of shipping. International orders will be sent by USPS International Flat-Rate Priority envelope or box, unless the current weight and size restrictions cannot be met [e.g.: (1) the item is too large to fit the International Flat-Rate envelope or box or (2) the item weighs over 4 lbs. or (3) insurance is requested or required (e.g., the book is worth $40.00 or more)--in each such case, the item will be sent, only if the given destination country allows for it, by signing for the item.] All books sent by USPS Flat-Rate unpadded envelope (or padded envelope, moreover) will be wrapped in paper and packed between cardboard sheets larger than the book or with cardboard affixed at the corners, in order to prevent damage to the book during shipment. Books sent in boxes will also be wrapped in paper and suitably packed to avoid movement in box. The goal here is to ship essentially at cost, rather than to reap additional profit beyond the cost of shipping, thus keeping the customer's cost for shipping as low as possible.
