Description:
Japan Publications Trading Company, 1966. Fourth Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good Dust Jacket. This old book with dust jacket is clean, solid and in great shape! This is an oversized, thick hardcover book with 368 pages including lots of instructional photos. The binding is strong with all pages firmly attached. There is a small dedication written on the first end paper and very light soiling on the last end paper. The pages are otherwise clean with no tears. The copyright page states 1966 Fourth Printing. This is definitely Not a former library book. The DJ is orange with an illustration of a black splotch. The dust jacket is about 99% intact with a one-inch chip on the top of the spine and light chipping on the corners. I have placed the DJ in a fresh mylar jacket and this old book looks and feels great! We always ship in a sturdy cardboard box!
