COPY #3
Internally this is a perfect copy. The illustrations are radiant and there is no soiling, foxing or damage of any kind. The covers are rubbed at the edges and slightly bowed. The color in the cover title has been bleached out. The line through the sails of the windmill is as a result of double scanning (the book is too large for my scanner) . Inventory #7505 Price $225.00
