Binding has slight fading and some soiling, otherwise clean. No internal markings. Hinge is tight. Dust jacket has fraying and chips to spine ends and some moderate bumping and chips to edges. Not price clipped. Overall in very good condition.
All proceeds benefit The Friends of the San Anselmo Library. No expedited shipping outside of the United States.
