Hardback book is tight and clean with a slight lean. Boards sharp and clean. Minor bump to head and foot of spine, title gilt perfect. Text block clean, with white edges.

The colours are nice and bold, and in the fitted archival jacket looks very presentable on the shelf. Overall very good. For grading accuracy books are photographed without a protective book cover.
