About This Item
The book shows little wear to the cover. Red cloth covered boards with gilt print on the spine. Some of the pages of this book would have been joined at the lateral edge, as some of the index pages still are. The original owner would have had to cut or tear along the crease to read it, and, in a few cases, the tearing was not carefully done. No text has been lost but some of the edges are a bit uneven. Otherwise, the pages are clean and tight. The dust jacket shows some wear along the upper and lower edges, but is now encased in mylar, so no further damage has been done. This is not a former library book and has no interior markings. A very rare book.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily.
