About This Item
This Book is in Acceptable Condition. The Dust Jacket (protected by a Brodart Dust Jacket Protector) has some Soiling to the Surface and some Edgewear, including Small Areas of Chipping along the Top Edge and at the Corners, Areas of Staining at the Head of the Spine and along the Fore Edge Corners of the Rear Cover, and several Tears (the largest of which is 2 1/2" long) and associated Creases at the Top and Bottom Edges, but as can be seen in the Photos, the Dust Jacket is not in as poor condition as the description makes it seem. The Hardcover Boards have some Rubbing to the Bottom Edge and Areas of Light Staining at the Head of the Spine and near the Edges but No Tears, Creases, or Other Major Damage. The Binding is Strong and Intact. The Interior is Clean and Unmarked with No Writing, Highlighting, or Underlining with the Exception of a Former Owner's Name on the Inside Front Cover (mostly hidden by the Dust Jacket Flap) and has a Very Small Stain on the Inside Front Cover (also hidden by the Dust Jacket Flap), a Small, Very Light Stain at the Bottom Fore Edge Corner Page Margin of a Few Pages near the Rear Cover, and has had the Front End Page Removed, but the Interior has No Creases, Musty Odor, or Other Major Damage. The Page Edges have Light Foxing but No Remainder Mark, Stains, or Other Major Damage. Securely Packed and Promptly Shipped.
