All our Hardbacks are original and in good readable condition no loose or missing papers some do have inscriptions inside the front cover and some wear to the spine of the book. Nothing but light use and a great alternative to purchasing a modern reprint.
These older books do have yellowing if the pages due to age. There’s nothing quiet like the feel and smell of a antique book!
