End of essay. Covers generally clean with only slight corner bumping but spine ends both orizontally chipped at textblock level. An odd humorous exercise in esoteric Stock Exchange in-joking, probably incomprehensible to even the most veteran of today's stock-brokers, but occasionally amusing nonetheless. Size: 15 Cm x 22 Cm.
