Item description from seller
Hardcover, no dust jacket as issued. These copies (we have two) were discovered still in their original sealed shipping container. They are as close to "as-new" as you will ever find a copy of this book available for. The book is clean and bright, never read, never used, never even placed on a store shelf. The titles on the spines show almost no white paint, of which this book is notorious for. It now appears this is not because the paint had flaked off over time, but instead the lack of quality control by the publisher - as these books were pulled out of the box this way, with no paint chip or residue seen in the box. This copy no other flaws, other than some very light smudge marks - all of which were like this when we pulled it out of the original packaging. This is the best copy out of the two that we are selling. See photos.
