The dustjacket is much worse - fair at best with a 4 inch tear up fold between the spine and the front panel and damp staining to the inside bottom of the rear panel - not reflected on the book. Chips, tears and scuffing - an unfortunate jacket for a very nice book. 314 pp., indexed, illustrations in color and black and white throughout. A beautiful book once you take the jacket off.
