____________________________________________________________________________Most of my books are Second hand or Vintage, so please don't expect perfection but I do try and give an honest description and you should be aware of that before bidding.Please understand that I am not an expert on my books, but am only a lover of old books and collector. I have done my best to describe this book based on my current knowledge, but nobody is perfect. I welcome any questions you may have about this book. I know that the pictures do not usually do justice to the books.It's also a fact that a lot of my old books were from very smokey homes and they still retain that "smoked" smell, I thought I would mention that as my place of work is smoke free.
