Paperback. Condition: Good. This copy is GOOD+; the text is clear, bright, but with marks and bits of marginalia and some underlining on about 5 of the book's 468 pages; binding is tight, but pages and edges show age, one page once turned top corner. The front and back covers are VG: intact, including color and design, but slight wear along edges and spine. We have a five star rating because of our fulfilment success and because our descriptions are accurate. All shipments within the U.S. sent with Tracking. 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 # 007207
