Bibliography
Index " This book is in pretty good condition with moderate wear to the cover, including some edgewear and a few light creases.
The first page is ripped out. It may have been a blank page, because the title page and copyright information is still there.
Some of the corners on some pages are bent or folded.
There is a seal on the last page which reads "Library of WMF William Fischer".
I am not sure if this was placed by the previous owner or was part of the book. |
