The paperback is in very good condition, with a tight binding and clean, tidy pages. The front blank paper shows a faint spot of surface wear, but the interior is free of writing, dog‑ears and any damage, and it comes from a smoke‑free home.
This is the last copy in stock, so it’s a great opportunity to add a well‑preserved, historically rich volume to your library.
