Description: Seller's Note : number 444 in a series of 700. This is a very fine copy which I have discounted generously because there is a stamp on the inside of the book, which is visible in the photographs, otherwise a very fine copy of this limited edition .

The book and bookcase are in very good condition. The book pages are clean, bright and unmarked. Boards are good. The structure of the slipcase is intact, there are no scratches and upon a further inspection the slipcase is pretty much unmarked. This really is a very fine copy, numbered 444 in a series of 700.
