This book is written from the basics for beginners. It contains a mix of relatively clean books and books with noticeable dirt. There is fading, storage dirt, bent/torn covers, and marks on pages (as shown in photos 14-19). All books come with dust jackets, so the covers are clean when removed. I can remove them and ship them if you request. *The packaging will be simple, with only waterproofing and no bubble wrap.
