432 pages (complete). In general poor condition thanks to most inconsiderate storage conditions. The dustjacket is heroic. It is included. There is much wear, tear, marking all about. It is rubbed and scuffed. However, it maintains a benign indifference to its condition. The cream cover is resolute with some storage marks. It is strong, firm and supple. Inside there are damp stains and marks throughout. These marks however give the book character; they do not interfere with the text or the clarity of the pages. The pages are tight, sure, tenacious, vividly written, confident. fk[RF45]. Book Condition: Poor. Binding: Hardcover.
