Condition
- Book
- Good – Interior pages show age-appropriate toning and discolouration consistent with a 1979 catalogue reference work. Binding is sound, no tears or significant internal damage. Some general handling wear visible.
- Dust jacket
- Very Good – Pictorial jacket features vibrant Japanese-inspired artwork with figures in traditional dress against a warm orange/tan ground. Colours remain bright. Minimal creasing to front surface. Spine area shows gentle rubbing and minor discolouration from age. Overall well-preserved.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
