It has a laminate on the cover, the kind often used at libraries, but there are no other library markings. You only see the laminate on the inside of the front and back covers. It actually serves as a protector and makes the book look better, but not everyone appreciates it.; Otherwise it looks unread, but I put it in "good" condition due to the laminate.; Condition checked point by point on this copy:; Overall grade: Used - Good; Exterior condition: Moderate edgewear present. Corners show mild bumping.; Pages: Show light handling/reading wear but are clean and unmarked. Light tanning or age toning to pages.; Storage & odour: Stored in a smoke-free environment.; Completeness: All pages intact. Please review the photos and condition notes for details of this copy. The saga of Recluce continues! In L. E. Modesitt's The Magic Engineer, we return to the magical island of Recluce, where Dorrin, a young scion of the Order magicians, is interested in forbidden knowledge, in the working of machines. Promising, intelligent, but determined to follow his passion for scientific knowledge, Dorrin can invent machines. He is the Leonardo da Vinci of his age, but his insights violate the rules of the Order magic of Recluce. Now he must go into exile in the lands of Chaos to pursue his dangerous inventions. Yet Darrin remains loyal to the idea of Order, and is tortured by the knowledge that to preserve it he must constantly create new devices for war. For the forces of the Chaos wizards are moving across the land, devouring whole countries and creating an empire--and their ultimate goal is the destruction of Recluce.

Store description
I am an independent bookseller based in Perth, Western Australia, specialising in quality used and out-of-print books. My focus is on good reading copies and well-kept paperbacks, with a particular soft spot for literary fiction, science fiction and fantasy, crime, and interesting non-fiction that deserves a second life on someone else’s shelf. Every book is individually inspected and described. I use clear, consistent condition notes and detailed photographs so you know exactly what you’re getting before you buy. Edgewear, spine creases, inscriptions, foxing, and any other flaws are clearly noted. If a book has something special – an early printing, a nice cover design, or an interesting previous owner mark – I’ll mention that too. Orders are packed carefully to survive the postal system, using appropriate padding and sturdy packaging. Whenever possible, I reuse clean packing materials to reduce waste without compromising protection. Customer service is straightforward: if you have a question about a specific book, feel free to contact me before purchasing. I aim to ship promptly and resolve any issues fairly. Thank you for supporting a small, independent bookseller and helping keep good books in circulation.…
