Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 5x1x8; Dark red hardback in nearly new condition: firm and square with bright gilt lettering just ever so slightly edge-worn. Contents crisp, tight and clean; no pen-marks. Not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Looks and feels unread. Thus a very nice copy.
