This book is a vintage pre owned item. This book is as pictured, please see pictures for specifics. Dust jacket has a Mylar cover with some wear, as well as some wear to around the areas of the spine ends, corners and edges. Hardcover itself appears to be in good condition under the cover but it is affixed and was not removed. At the time of listing we are unsure as to the origin or importance of the painted markings on cover of the Mylar. Some wear to first pages inside front cover. Some age discoloration to pages. Otherwise the interior is in very good condition with no rips or tear, no markings or writing. Fold out is intact in good condition. All pages are complete and the binding is good. This book is written in English.
