The Flying Carpet

The front and rear end papers have darkened slightly, but the rest of the paper is fresh. The beige cloth covers are also in very good condition, with some darkening and wear to the spine. The dust jacket is in terrible condition, with overall wear, tears, a stain on the front panel, and paper missing from the top and bottom of the spine area. The attached scan gives a better idea of condion.
