The previous owner of this rare book wanted to protect her book, so she kept it in a bag always. This resulted in a bright, colorful cover still after all this time.  The book is in good condition for its age, although there is no longer a dust jacket and the front cover has pulled away slightly from the spine; the book is still completely readable.
