Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional and particularly internally,is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation,for a book of its 15+ year-old age and nature, i.e. a child's book. It is only the missing dw/dj fault described that prevents a higher grading overall.Despite that,it is still an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of any other detracting faults other than the missing dw/dj. A children's story about an anthropomorphic wooden stick who becomes separated from his family home and the tale of his Odyssey-like adventure to return there in time for Christmas,with a surprise helping hand from Santa himself.
