THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION COPY IN NEARLY VERY GOOD CONDTION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF DISCOLORATION TO SEVERAL OF THE PHOTO PLATES AND THE PAGES THAT TOUCH THEM. THERE IS NO DUST JACKET. THE BOARDS HAVE LOSS OF THE BLUE COLORING ON THE CORNERS AND SPINE EDGES, LIGHT SOILING AND FADING AND LIGHT WEAR TO THE SILK SCREENED TITLES ON FRONT COVER AND SPINE. THERE IS NO WRITING, NO TEARS AND NO CREASES. BINDING IS SQUARE AND HAS NO SPLITS. THERE IS AGE RELATED PAPER TONING THROUGHOUT. 

THE PRIMARY CONDITION ISSUE IS DISCOLORATION TO THE PHOTO PAGES, WITH DISCOLORATION TO THE TEXT PAGES THAT TOUCH THE PHOTO PAGES, FRONT AND REAR. THE TITLE PAGE (PHOTO 2) IS THE WORST OF IT.  OTHER PHOTOS ARE INCLUDED

While the images of the Store Displays are more the kind that collectors run out to buy, the actual methods for advertising are cross over time and are still applicable.

THE COLOR OF THE BOOK IS MORE OF THIS COLOR THAN THAT SHOWN IN THE FLASH PHOTOS, OR MAYBE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN.

I utilize a third party EBAY supplied shipper for international sales. This is part of the Global Shipping Program. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. I have no control over import fees that may be charged. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Global shipping service does not allow combined shipping from a single seller for items purchased at different times, but I believe that it can be done if you want to purchase multiple items from one seller. I believe that, if you "add to cart" and then do a single "Buy it Now" with the items in the cart, you may be able to combine International Shipping Charges but please confirm this with the Global Shipping Company before finalizing the purchase. Thank you

PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the  bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required.  Thank you
