Hardcover. Condizione: Good. 281 pp. Tightly bound. Text is free of Markings. No ownership markings. Published without a dust jacket. Printed boards. NOTE: The reason for the lower "good" rating is because there is a bump to the head of the spine and a light ding to the tip of the top front corner. This copy is smyth sewn. Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block. This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding.
