Kaliflower, Volume Five

Very Good HC, no DJ. Beige cloth over boards, white stylized woman’s head with hair spelling 'Kaliflower' on front cover, the hair wrapping around spine onto back cover; gray laid paper end papers. Bright generally clean covers and spine have few small spots; firm, square corners; tightly bound; crisp, clean interior. Brilliant colorful images and print on every page.
