Soft cover. Condizione: Fair. Oversize paperback. Text in French. The best thing I can say about the dust jacket is that it is still here, laid in, in pieces, brittle, and with a lot of chipping and edgewear. Staple-bound, with cover just barely hanging on around the staples. Chipping on spine, tanning, and small corner fold on cover, first few pages have tiny corner folds, curling, pages tanned, photo pages are very good. Oversize book extra shipping charges will apply, especially for international and priority orders as this will not fit into a flat rate envelope.
