Condition Notes:

Appears to be in solid used condition from the provided photos — clean red boards, bright illustrations, and intact map. There are imperfections on the dust jacket such as a pin hole in it. I took a close up in the pictures. There is also a slight crease on the back 2 pages. That is shown in the pictures too. Please inspect all pictures to make you you will be happy with the condition of this book.
