"Thomas Walz tells the story of Bill Sackter, a man who spent nearly half a century in a Minnesota mental institution and emerged to blossom into a most unlikely celebrity." Soft cover with lettering on the front cover and spine. Edges are lightly rubbed. Head and tail of spine bumped, corners are a little too. Discolouration on fore edge of page edges. Covers bear the odd spot, scuff and scratch. Spine well sunned. Binding is neat and tidy, else in good condition. *We always describe the faults of our books meticulously; they usually present better than they sound.
