This large and gorgeous vintage masterpiece of literature and bookmaking from The Modern Library's Book of the Month Club is in NEAR PERFECT condition with no markings inside or out and no attached bookplates. I am completely confident that you won't find this particular book and case in better condition anywhere. The pictures here don't do it justice; they look better and are more pristine in person.

The wavy effect that may appear in multiple pictures is only "moiré pattern." It occurs when a scene or an object that is being photographed contains fine, repetitive details that exceed sensor resolution. As a result, the camera produces strange-looking wavy patterns. It is simply an effect and doesn't exist on the book in real life.
