on the spine which has very mild chipping and a dark adhesive tape stain 
at the very top wrapping over to the rear about an inch. The front 
dustwrapper hinge is split about half the length but completely unseen 
with the mylar protector over it, though two adhesive stains are visible 
internally. That said, it is quite an attractive copy. Near Fine in a 
Very Good example of the scarce dustwrapper. (#009223)        $350.00
