Interior is printed on semi-gloss paper. Pages are generally clean. There is a small spot of damage to the upper margin of p. 97. Book block edges contain some faint foxing. "'Starcraft' differs from other books on amateur astronomy in that it not only gives a detailed guide to the study of the stars, but tells how the reader can build his own instruments for making observations" [from the dust jacket].
