A propos de cet article

mass market paperback 671 pp. Due to the oversized number of pages, the spine shows creasing, but it is intact. The front cover has some wear to the edges where the ink has been worn off. The back cover has a fold along the bottom left-hand corner and creasing on the top left-hand corner. The book shows some soiling. An acceptable reading copy or an upgrade for serious collectors.
