Internally, Battiss's inscription is on the front end page, and a previous retailer's sticker is under the front board. The end pages are tanned and lightly foxed, but this does not extend into the rest of the book, and the rest of the pages within are crisp, clean and complete. Tightly bound and presents handsomely in cellophane. JK. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. Signed.
