About this Item

A firm and square hardback with strong joints, just showing a few minor cosmetic rubs and bumps to the top-edge. Hence a non-text page has a 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book is actually in nearly new condition and appears unread. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and tight; no pen-marks. Now offered for sale at a very sensible price.
