Author's debut book.
Visually the exterior appearance is more than acceptable,and even internally,the book is in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation. It is only the minimal,minor exterior faults that prevents a slightly higher grading. Despite them,it really is still a more than acceptable copy for its cleanliness and brightness.Author's debut book.
