About This Item
New York: MJFBooks, 2002. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Book and jacket are fine, mildest edge wear, but there is a remainder mark on the lower page block. I assume the book is a Book Club Edition as there is no price on the dust jacket, but there is a full number line on the copyright page.

About Trolls Treasure
Home-based, online sales only. I am running out of space to keep my collection of books, but I cannot bypass any chance offered at searching out some interesting venue offering books. I dithered for quite some time over this problem, and went right on buying books, until it occurred to me that I could make room for new purchases if I started selling some of my books. So, here I am, a small business, but offering personal service. Happy to answer questions.
