A FIRST EDITION, First Printing from 1997, this oversized hardcover book has glossy white paper over boards with a design matched by that on the accompanying DJ: both are Near Fine. Book is nearly Brand New, with the only flaw being orange-colored marker to outside bottom page edges. Else, completely clean, binding straight & strong, pages white, colors bright. The unclipped DJ is virtually flawless, but downgraded due to a tiny bit of wrinkling along bottom edge; looks lovely protected in new mylar cover to stay that way!
