Please note the wear to the spine/corners/cloth boards, particularly noticeable near/along the edges, and the wear that is present on the pages, particularly noticeable on certain pages!

The pages have a noticeably "wavy" appearance which can be a bit difficult to articulate in words so we closely photographed them from various angles to give you a clearer idea of the wear.

All of the wear previously mentioned is clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered.

Please note the wear on the spine, at the corners, on the inside jacket flaps and near/along the edges!

The wear, particularly near/along the edges and on the spine, is clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered.


We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book.

We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear.

Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear to both the book and the dust jacket is clearly visible!

All of the wear should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying.


Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection.

Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!!
