NOTE: Do not bundle books without checking with me first as the weight will probably exceed the 5 lb. limit and will require additional postage, which may result in me cancelling the order. CONDITION: Like new with the caveat that there is a bookplate affixed to the back cover over the moire fabric. See pics. If this is not to your liking you could either remove or cover with your own bookplate (Ask me. I may have a matching blank bookplate). Questions? Leave a comment below!
