About This Item
269 Pages. First Edition by the full number line. The dust jacket is Not price-clipped.
This is a very interesting look into the daily workings of a psychiatric hospital by a medical writer whom a hospital allowed inside to document the treatment given to the mentally ill. The book's dust jacket is in very good+ condition as there is very slight wrinkling on its spine, vertical creases on the inside front cover and rear cover's flapsand finally very light scuffing on the front cover.. The interior book would be in Fine condition except that there is some mold spotting on the closed book's bottom, right, and top page edges, though outside of that detriment, there are no further visible detriments or distractions, or extraneous markings throughout the book and thus all of its printing is in a very well-preserved and readable condition and the book's sewn-in bindings remain tight and therefore are sound.
If you should order this interesting observation inside a psychiatric ward of a hospital from us, it will be carefully wrapped up, then boxed and padded and mailed right away to you with insurance and will come with our honest appreciation for your order.
