Boards are very clean with little edgewear (please see pics.) Intact endpages are uninscribed. The binding is very tight and square; the text and illustrations are very clean, bright, and crisp. The dust jacket comes wrapped in a ph-neutral mylar sleeve and ready to slip into your collection. 319 pages. The book measures approx. 8 x 5.75-inches.
