The hard back book and dust jacket are pristine, and it looks brand new except for a name, "Mary Williams," neatly printed on the inside cover
No shelf wear; my mom had it packed away flat in an air tight container
Super interesting color photos and images on most pages
The binding is tight and appears like it was never opened
Always from a non-smoking + pet-free place
