Contents tight and clean; no pen-marks. Not from a library so no such stamps or labels. Thus a tidy book in very presentable condition.
This book is not as disturbed as some of Sade's other works. Most of the stories in this collection have a lot of cruel comedy to them. Sade's strange sense of humor is actually used quite well in this collection of short works. This is fun to read, but due to some of the content is not for everyone. Most of the stories are not as bad as one expects from a Sade tale. This is probally his least offensive collection.
