MYTHICAL BEASTS AN ANTHOLOGY OF VERSE & PROSE, FIRST EDITION HARDCOVER WITH DUST JACKET, PUBLISHED IN 1996 BY SMITHFIELD PUBLISHERS OF NYC, AND PRODUCED BYD ANNESS PUBLISHING LTD. OF LONDON.  A GORGEOUS PRISTINE MINT ART BOOK WITH A BEAUTIFUL GLOSSY DUST JACKET THAT MATCHES THE BOOK COVERS, AND GLOSSY INTERIOR PAGES WITH FULL-PAGE, FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS ON EVERY OTHER PAGE ILLUSTRATING THE PROSE AND POETRY ON FACING PAGES.

PURCHASED NEW IN 1996, NEVER READ (I had other reading copies) AND STORED IN OUR DARKENED WAREHOUSE NEARLY THIRTY (30) YEARS, THE COVERS ARE TIGHT, BRIGHT, GLOSSY AND COMPLETELY UNFADED, AND THE INTERIOR PAGES BRIGHT, GLOSSY AND CRISP ON THEIR ORIGINAL MILKY WHITE PAPER STOCK.  THE DUST JACKET IS BRIGHT, GLOSSY, LUSTROUS AND COMPLETELY UN-FADED.  THE BINDING IS SO TIGHT IT WILL BE IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS THE BOOK HAS NEVER BEEN READ, OR EVEN OPENED FULLY.  BOOK IS STILL BRIGHT, GLOSSY AND LOOKS BRAND-NEW.
However, over the several decades in storage, dust built up on the top surface of the pages, causing that surface and the first and last few pages to develop light age spotting.  The Covers, Inside covers, Dust Jacket, and the balance of the interior pages were completely UN-affected.

OTHERWISE, YOU WILL NOT FIND A MORE PRISTINE MINT COPY ANYWHERE.
