The wear is very clearly visible and has been closely photographed for your careful examination/consideration. The original, First State dust jacket is fully intact and NOT price-clipped! Some general/shelf wear along with creases, chipping, marks/toning/age discoloration and numerous rips/tears resulting in some loss of paper. Please note the wear on the spine, at the corners and near/along the edges! The unfortunate wear is extensive and very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book. Our VERY LOW asking price is a reflection of that consideration. Once again, the wear, to both the book and the dust jacket, is VERY clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!!
