You are purchasing a 1994 book hardcover book with a dust jacket of King Kong by Anthony Browne. This story is conceived by Edgar Wallace and Merian Cooper. The book is an ex-library book. It has the usual shelf sticker on the spine of the book .It has the usual library stamps, card file number , pocket and checkout slip. There is wear to the corners and edges of the book from shelf use. There is some tearing to the first to inside pages of the book, but not where there are any pictures. The pictures are still bright in color. There doesn't appear to be any personal writing. Still a nice addition to any collection.
