Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Good+ to Very Good in Good DJ: The Book shows indications of careful use: light wear to extremities; slight cock to the spine; the binding remains secure; the text is clean, but there is a former owner's name at the upper corner of the front free endpaper. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. A moderately used copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing some wear and minor, unobtrusive flaws.The DJ shows fairly heavy wear; scant loss to chipping; rubbing at the extremities; just a touch of soiling; the price is intact. Shows some flaws, but remains serviceable. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 4to. (10 x 8 x 1 inches). xv, 350 pages. Color frontispiece with black & white illustrations throughout.
