The slipcase totally encloses the book, unlike all other LEC slipcases (as far as I know). Most LECs are in the standard slipcase that leaves the book's spine exposed. This slipcase is in two parts that slide together and totally enlose the book. One photo shows the book and the two successively larger slipcases, The book's gilt lettered spine is duplicated on a paper label and then put on the main slipcase. The slipcase itself is also AS NEW, highly unusual in that there's not even a trace of rubbing or soiling. AS NEW book & slipcase. WITHOUT the L.E.C. flyers.
