Condition
Very good hardcover in a very good minus dust jacket. Boards are square and clean, spine straight and strong, binding tight. Dust jacket shows a small chip and light wear at the upper back corner and a bit of minor edge rubbing, but remains bright and attractive overall. Interior appears clean and unmarked on inspection, with no notable stains, tears, or writing. No remainder marks or ex-library indicators seen.
Please view all photos carefully for the best sense of condition and details; they are part of the description and show exactly the copy you will receive.
