The grey cloth-covered hardboards (no dust jacket) with white & black titles to the front & spine, show some aging, smudges and edge discoloration. There is a moisture stain evident towards the bottom right hand corner tip of the book, which affects the front and back hardboard covers and some of the interior pages towards the back of the book, mostly in the margin areas, but a few of the photos are affected. The interior pages are clean, unmarked and tight. The reproductions are very nice and clean. Superb collection of photographs...... Please checkout my other books starting at just $4.95....
