Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A very nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a couple of minor. unobtrusive imperfections. Bright, crisp and clean. Corners sharp. Virtually 'As New'. The DJ shows very light wear to the upper corner tips; faint sun-blanching and toning, mainly to the backstrip (the black titles are unaffected, but the white titles thereon are, while still legible, read with more difficulty than when new), but also around the edges of the panels; the mildest rubbing to the rear panel; the price is unclipped. No longer 'As New', but remains close to it. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.75 x 5.75 x 0.75 inches). x, 161 pages. Illustrated with numerous duotone drawings photographs. Maps.
