Riguardo questo articolo

Hardback book in nearly new condition with just a small publisher's 'damaged' stamp; even so not showing any defects, no splits, no cracks, no pen-marks, just some very minor surface rubbing and moderate shelf wear. Contents are crisp, tight and fresh. Complete with original dustjacket, showing well, sharp and bright. Thus a never read book still in very presentable condition now offered for sale at a sensible price.
