Shiny black and copper wraps with title lettering in copper over black across upper middle front cover. Several nugatory rubbing lines on covers, which look like caused by sliding book in a tight place on the storage shelf (NO discoloration, NO abrasive cuts, NO evidence of these lines on inside covers): describes much worse than it is; teeny tip of white at lower left spine corner and teenier at other cover corners. Tight binding (NO creases), corners sharp. No previous owner names; no remainder mark; no rubbing wear. Clean text. Despite nugatory peccadilloes, Book looks UNREAD.
