Book is still tight. A few pages show a minor indentation at top which is visible from the top page deck. 1st issue DJ is nice. DJ has $8.95 price intact on flap. Tiny chips to foot and crown of DJ backstrip. Tiny chip to edge and 2 at flap corners. Condition description is hyper-critical. ALL FLAWS ARE STATED. A desirable copy!
