DUST JACKET HAS SURFACE RUBBING TO THE GLOSSY FINISH, PRESSURE MARKS, MINOR SCUFFS AND EDGE WEAR PRIMARILY BECAUSE THE JACKET WAS MAYBE 1/4" LONGER THAN THE BOOK AND EDGE WEAR BECAME INEVITABLE. 

THE BOOK IS IN FINE CONDITION BUT FOR TWO ISSUES:

1- THERE IS AN INSCRIPTION ON FRONT END PAPER.  (PHOTO 11)

2- THERE IS A LIGHT HALF INCH SCRAPE TO THE CLOTH ON THE TOP EDGE OF THE REAR BOARD. (PHOTO 10)

THE BOOK HAS NO OTHER CONDITION ISSUES.

While the book includes costumes for The Wizard of Oz, and for Jean Harlow in Dinner at Eight, there are large chapters devoted solely to Joan Crawford (42 pages), Greta Garbo (32 pages) and Norma Shearer (30 pages), and all three of them are otherwise mentioned throughout the book.

PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the  bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required.  Thank you
