Condition Report
| Cover | Very Good Condition - Note: The boards, covered in dark olive cloth have the title in gold on the firm sound spine only and there is however light exposure discolouring on top and bottom of each board and spine. The price-clipped Dust Wrapper is a highlight certainly with the subject illustrated over a light green background on the front and spine with several of her previous novels listed on the rear. Devoid of any fraying, chipping or bumping,the wrapper is now protected by removable clear arcival covering. - With Dust Wrapper |
| Overall | Very Good Condition - Note: Internally the pages, though slightly toned, are still crisp and unmarked, devoid of foxing or edge flecking. The only significant detractor from the book is the previous aggressive use of Sellotape on the front and rear free endpapers and pastedowns with small patches of ugly brown stains now remaining. |
