Hafez Shirazi narrated by Ahmad Shamlou (In Farsi)

Khajeh Hafez Shirazi; Edited by Ahmad Shamlou

About this Item

Entirely in Farsi (which I have no understanding of). I did find a book from an auction which is identical to my book and copied and pasted the Farsi title, clicked on translate, and got to the title Hafez Shiraz narrated by Ahmad Shamlou or Hafez Shiraz According To Ahmad Shamlou. Also the following: 'Hafez Shiraz narrated by Ahmad Shamlou is a narration of Hafez's Divan.' Please take a look at the photos. You can see how thick the book is. It's also fairly heavy so if the buyer is from outside of the United States the shipping will be higher than the quoted price, probably higher than the price of the book, because the weight will exceed the limit for first class shipping and will have to be shipped Priority. The book is in very nice shape. You can see the covers in the photos. They are very clean. The book is solidly bound from cover to cover. There are no binding issues. The covers are nicely tight. The cover edges and corners are in very good shape. The page edges are mostly clean. There are two smallish spots on the bottom page edge, not affecting the actual pages. The pages of the book are very clean. Scrolling through, I didn't find any instances of soiling. There are a lot of pages so it's possible I missed something, but they are very clean nonetheless. I didn't see any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases. I saw a few crinkles. There are no markings in the book. No one has written their name or anything else anywhere. There are no attachments, but there are two small, thin strips of residue from what must've been tape on both the front and rear inside cover. On the rear inside cover it looks like someone tried removing the tape and created a superficial scuff. There's also a small scuff off the top edge of the blank front end paper. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. There is a minor bit of soiling on the rear cover. There are small losses off the top edge of the front and spine, and one off the top edge of the rear cover. Finally, as you can see, there is a discoloration off the top edge of the front cover, the residue of a strip of tape which was once covering a tear, and there is one other smallish tear off the top edge of the front and one off the bottom edge of the front as well. For these reasons I've rated the dust jacket only Good. However, as you can see in the photos, it does not present badly. The flaps are clean but have some wear. The front flap has a sharp crease and its top corner, also little bit of wear at its top edge, and a small tear off its middle edge. The rear flap has a small crease at its top corner. The jacket is fitted with a protective cover. Seller Inventory # 004923
