The unclipped DJ is VG+, with very slight chipping to both ends of spine & a longer 2" unclosed tear descending at an angle down into front cover from head of spine; looks lovely protected in new clear mylar cover.Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
