Brand New, never opened, never read, in a Fine dust jacket.  

Found in the 200-year-old farmhouse library of a house in rural north central Ohio.  They loved their books and kept them all.  Eight pickup-truck loads of books and paper from that house passing through eBay and on to you now.

A splendid work. No wear.  Tight, firm.  The dust jacket - only the dj - has a slight curl at the bottom front.  That's it.   No looseness, No mustiness, No smoke smell.  We do try to describe them correctly - we want you back - hundreds of repeat customers.
