The spine of the book is a bit bumped with some slight loss of the title lettering. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages and plates are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder. Various (illustrator).…
