＊Profile must read. ◎ Popular paperback edition It's very clean as you can see in the photos. There are almost no scratches or stains. There are some very slight scuffs and signs of use that don't show up in the photos. It's been 22 years since it was published, and there's a slight yellowing, but it's acceptable. In my opinion, it's a beautiful item. Out of print, with the publisher out of stock and no reprint planned. High resale value expected after reading. Those looking for it, please get it early.
