Condition: Hardback book with cloth covered boards. No dust jacket. Binding is secure. There is darkening of the cloth of the spine and of the 2 inches of the boards closest to the spine, probably from exposure. There is also evidence of water contact at the very bottom of the back board. (See photo #12 for a closeup.) This does not affect the interior of the book. There is slight spotting to the insides of the front and back boards and to the facing free pages. On the inside of the front board at the top right are a few numbers written in pencil. There are no other markings. There is some spotting to the page edges. Not ex-library and not ex-libris. This book has a very slightly musty smell. Please see photos. Sold as is.

Attention US Buyers: I will ship by USPS Media Mail or by USPS Priority Mail, your choice. Please note that if you have a Military Mail address (e.g. APO), I must ask that you choose USPS Priority Mail as it is my understanding that USPS Media Mail is not reliable to Military Mail addresses.
Attention International Buyers: Unfortunately, it appears that international shipping from the US (via the USPS) has become unreliable, because of the pandemic. Therefore, I have decided to remove the international shipping option. You are still welcome to bid on this item, but will need to supply a shipping address in the US. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding.
