Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Illustrated gray cover with black ink titles. This book is in very good shape save these defects: The front top corner is bumped. The rear top corner is a bit curled. There is a prior owner's name in ink on the FFEP. Also, on the FFEP are two soil marks. This book is square and tight and seems barely read. There are no other marks such as underlining, library stamps or highlights. Two foldout maps in there rear are in good shape. The DJ has some small tears around the front top corner and top of the spine. The DJ has well done its job and is free from other tears. This book reads First Printing 1985 on the copyright page. Thus, I believe this is first printing by this publisher. N° de réf. du vendeur 003035
