from my collection. light surface wear to outer cover as shown. nothing serious but best to be honest as its been sitting in my collection amongst other books. otherwise perfect. inside its immaculate. no pages loose or bent or turned. no writing or marks either or inscriptions inside. spine is unbroken and undamaged and perfect. listed cheaper than the others. so grab a bargain before it's gone. plus money back guarantee for extra peace of mind. plus sent fully tracked and insured service. plus I've uploaded dozens of pictures for your reassurance. How's that for fairness? Happy to answer any questions? thanks mac
