Norman Rockwell Illustrator
by Guptill, Arthur L
A boxed book. Because of the protection of the box, the book is almost like new. The only flaw is that the fabric of the spine is faded, as the only part of the book left exposed when in the box. The fabric of the box is faded as well, with a small spot on the back. The book itself looks unread. A history of the man and his art. A really nice volume.
