About This Item
A.A. Balkema, 1970. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. The boards are clean and square, with little, if any, defect to them. The gold gilt on the front and spine is bright and cheery. The dust jacket is rubbed and worn, with a few creases along the edges and two closed tears along the edges of the spine. Despite this, the jacket is bright and intact, and the tears barely visible. Internally, the front pastedown has a previous owner's signature on it in black ink and it also has some tape residue markings on it. These same markings can be found on the back pastedown as well. The rest of the pages within are clean and complete. The binding is tight, and it is presented charmingly in cellophane.Due to weight postal adjustments may be required. JV.K[INF50]. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
