COMB SPINE SOFTCOVER BOOK WITH STIFF BOARDS, SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. OVERALL THE BOOK IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO TEARS, NO CREASES, NO OTHER WRITING. THE COVERS HAVE SOME STAINING AND A NICK TO TOP EDGE OF FRONT COVER AND BOTTOM EDGES OF PAGES HAVE WAVINESS SUGGESTING MOISTURE BUT NO WATER STAINING ANYWHERE IN THE BOOK

-Several photos were taken without a flash to make clear the waviness I refer to and (Photo 12) is a close-up of the waviness. There were no pages ever stuck together and I don't think the paper ever actually had direct contact with water. 
-(Photo 11) is owner information inside rear cover
-(Photo 1) shows a nick in the cover above the word "THE" in the title
- (Photo 2) shows author signature
-(Photo 3) reflects hand inked price on title page

There are only a few pages of actual text followed by reprints of old catalog images

ebag
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
