PLEASE SEE PHOTO(S) AT UPPER LEFT OF THIS LISTING...or Zoom A Note About Used Books and Condition Values: We rate books and dust jackets on a scale from ''As New'' to ''Poor'', as follows: AS NEW - Used when the book or dust jacket is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published, with no defects. FINE - Approaches the condition of AS NEW, but lacking the crispness ofa new book. These books or dust jackets should have no defects. NEAR FINE - Approaching ''Fine'' but with slight flaws. VERY GOOD - Describes a book or dust jacket that does show some small signs of wear or slight damage. GOOD - Describes the average used worn book or jacket that has all pages of text present but has flaws and/or damages. FAIR - Worn book or jacket that has complete text pages but is stained, has loose pages, tears, or otherwise has some sort of significant damage or other issue. POOR - Describes a book that is worn, damaged, stained or otherwise beat-up (but complete), making it useful as a reading copy but possibly not a collector copy. A ''POOR'' dust jacket is likely heavily torn, chipped or otherwise damaged. (A ' + ' or a ' - ' can indicate a shading of these values...either a nudge up, or a nudge down.)
