The unclipped dustwrapper (illustrated by Ellen Edwards) has shelf wear with some soiling and the spine is slightly darkened. The spine ends ands corners are bumped with small pieces missing from the bottom of the spine and top corners. A previous owner has reinforced the back of the top of the spine and parts of the top edge with a thick strip of brown paper. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers gScotLitDoug03
