ISBN 13: 9781853263934

Soft cover
Seller: Aunt Agatha's, Ltd., Ann Arbor, MI, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Unbroken spine. Looks like it was never read, but long storage has inflicted a small ding a third of the way down the cover, extending to the first few pages. It looks like a price tag was removed from the front cover sometime around the turn of the century. Otherwise in great shape. I predict you will be fortunate if your future finds this book in your hands. Book. Seller Inventory # DF8
