Condition notes: a lovely clean copy marred only by a slight bowing to the oblong boards; otherwise, clean, tight, square, bright. Light wear and several small and not very noticeable edge folds and scratches to dj. If you can live with the slight board bow, gift appropriate. Quite a nice collection by a diverse set of Minnesotans, with matching b&w photos. We personally inspect every book we offer.
