Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Not as pictured. Brown cloth. Strangely there is a mention near the front of the book being limited to 500 copies but the space where the number of the copy should be is blank and we don't see a signature anywhere of the artist.Book has very small and light surface scratch on front cover, very light fraying to corners, a very tiny and faint surface scratch on back cover, spine has a couple of small white marks, otherwise book is in very good condition, bright pages with vibrant images, great binding, overall a beautiful copy.
