A propos de cet article

First edition, trade paperback, has a light skew to the binding, slight bumps to the spine ends and corners, a touch of creasing to the corners, mild sunning to the spine, some rubbing to the covers, and faint spots of soiling and smudging to the edges of the text block, which do not affect the page faces. Otherwise, this is a solid, tight, Near Very Good copy with unmarked text.
