This is not a remainder, book club or ex-library copy. The binding is straight and tight.

Please note:
  • The picture(s) are of the actual item for sale. (Pictures are NOT stock photos.)
  • If the book has a dust jacket: (1) The dust jacket is protected in a Brodart to ensure that it remains in the best possible condition. (2) The Brodarted dust jacket is not taped to the book. (3) When we take a picture of a book (or make a scan), it may cause a glare on the plastic of the Brodart. This is not a defect in the book or jacket; it is just a reflection off the Brodart.

    • BOOK GRADING GUIDE Because hobbies have different words for describing conditions, I'd like to tell you how I grade the collectibles I sell.
  • Books are graded with the ABA standard in mind. That means books range from G (good) to Fine.
  • I don't use a VFN or any form of Mint to describe a book.
  • A book that is NF (near fine) can also be thought of as almost new.
  • A full list of typical conditions ranges from: G, VG, VG+, VG+/NF, NF, to FN
