About This Item
216 Pages. Stated: First Edition. The dust jacket is Not price-clipped. Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 65-21363.
This is a collection of beautiful photographs of absolutely classic motorcars of the golden past along with very informative texts describing them all. The book's dust jacket is in fair condition with repaired tears and worn areas along both bottom and top edges, two worn corners, a lightly worn corner, and one with no wearing on it. This said, the front and rear photographs though, are still vibrant. The interior book is in near fine condition with only an old glue remnant of a sticker on the first page in from the front cover and slightly discolored exterior top and bottom edges keeping it from being in fine condition and thus all of the georgeous photographs and their accompanying texts are in a very well-preserved and enjoyable condition and the book's sewn-in bindings remain tight and therefore are sound.
If you order this classic automotive photograph reference volume from us, it will be carefully wrapped up, then padded and boxed and mailed right away to you with both insurance and tracking on it and it will come with our honest appreciation for your order.
