HARDCOVER WITH DUST JACKET. OVERALL CONDITION IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN GOOD PLUS AND VERY GOOD MINUS, DEPENDING ON YOUR MOOD.
DUST JACKET IS NOW IN A BRODART SLEEVE. JACKET IS BETTER THAN 99% COMPLETE BUT IS HEAVILY WORN ON THE FOLDS, WITH INTERIOR TAPE REPAIRS AND DISCOLORATION TO THE WHITE REAR PANEL AND REVERSE OF JACKET. SOME SURFACE COLOR WEAR BUT IN THE BRODART SLEEVE IT WILL LAST AS LONG AS THE BOOK DOES. There is also a stain on the front panel to the lower right of the word 'FOR' in the title. Edge of front flap has staining from a piece of scotch tape.
THE BOOK IS ABOUT VERY GOOD. THERE IS AGE RELATED PAPER TONING AND SOME LIGHT SOILING TO EXPOSED PAGE EDGES. BOARDS HAVE SOME LIGHT SURFACE WEAR WITH FRONT BOARD HAVING A COUPLE OF IMPRESSIONS. EDGES OF BOARDS ARE FADED AND BLACK COLORING OF SPINE AND REAR PANEL HAVE RUBBING/FADING. FRONT PASTE DOWN/END PAPER BOTH HAVE DISCOLORATION FROM A PIECE OF CLEAR TAPE THAT HAD BEEN ON THE FRONT FLAP OF THE DUST JACKET AND TURNED YELLOW; FALLING OFF ON ITS OWN (PHOTO 9). NO SIMILAR PROBLEM ON REAR PASTE DOWN/END PAPER (PHOTO 10).
HERE AND THERE THE VERY THIN PAGES HAVE TINY BUMPS/CORNER BENDS (PHOTO 7). Nothing significant with a few pages in a couple of locations.
FOR THE RECORD, this is NOT the Cormac McCarthy book.
PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION ON ALL PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE
DESCRIPTION.
