Fine in Fine- Dust Jacket, an exceptional copy, book itself is essentially fine save for a hint of natural aging, and very nice jacket with just a hint of crinkling and a hint of edge-wear to the top spine edge and at the bottom back, and a tiny hint of an abrasion on the back, almost imperceptible.
