This book is 232 pages long, and includes an introduction by Stan Lee (legendary creator of the X-Men, the Mighty Thor, the Amazing Spiderman, Daredevil, the Avengers, the Incredible Hulk, and countless other classic Marvel characters and teams). This hard cover book is in very good condition, but does have some wear to the dust jacket, including some edgewear with a small tear near the top left edge of the back cover, and also a small water stain marking on the inside of the jacket near the bottom of the spine and lower edges next to it. It's not very noticeable from the outside, but we wanted to make sure it was mentioned. This is a truly great way to own expensive classics that might otherwise be unobtainable. Even if you have the originals, this is a great way to be able to read the stories and admire the artwork and covers without having to worry about handling the actual issues and damaging them. Highly recommended for any FF or comic book fan. There is no statement of printing, and the book has the original 1988 copyright date, so this appears to be the very hard to find original 1st printing.
