Near Fine in Very Near Fine DJ: The Book shows only very minute flaws: a couple of the very faintest smudges at the top edge of the text block and the slightest shelf rubbing at the bottom edge of the boards; else flawless; the binding remains square and secure; the text is clean.

Language: English. Weight: 18.7 ounces. Hardback with DJ.
