CONDITION: The spine is cocked; otherwise the book is in Like New condition (Like New is our highest condition grade, then Very Good) in a Very Good slipcase. There is some light mottling to the back cover of the book, but it looks like it is along the natural grain of the vellum. The vellum-colored slipcase has some light toning and is lightly soiled, but even light toning and soiling stand out against the off-white background. See all 11 photos.
