Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional,and even internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of its age and nature, i.e. children's ephemeral p/backs and card slipcase.It is only the tips' faults that prevents a slightly higher grading. Despite that,it really is still an exceptional, exemplary example for its cleanliness and brightness.
