Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. This copy is NEAR FINE; the text is clear, bright, and unmarked; binding is tight, but pages show some age and edges show slight wear. The jacket is VG: absolutely intact in all ways, including perfect color and design, but wear along edges, corners and spine, price sticker bottom rear, and signs of rubbing. We have a five star rating because of our fulfilment success and because our descriptions are accurate. On foreign sales, because of the heavy weight of this book, we have to charge extra for shipping: however, we will only charge the difference between our regular shipping rate and the extra charge that the U.S.Post Office asks to ship the book. We guarantee: NO NASTY SURPRISES. Seller Inventory # 006959
