Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket. This is limited edition 100 of 100 bound in quarter leather with raised bands to the spine and signed by both Barbara Jeppe and Graham Duncan on the limitation page. There is no slip case. The boards are a little rubbed and edge worn, but remain otherwise strong and sturdy. Internally, the pages are ever so slightly wavy, with the page edges along the bottom a little marked. However, this is almost unnoticeable and the text remains neat and complete, with vibrant watercolour illustrations. The binding is sound. JK.
