The jacket has strong vibrant colors with none of the otherwise typical fading to the spine which often bring the red tones to a light beige. Instead this jacket has strong vibrant colors with very slight toning to the rear panel, otherwise with no rips, no chips, no edgewear, no stains, no fading, and no rubbing. A stunning dust jacket in hard to locate condition! Please see detailed images. A very handsome example of this scarce title in beautiful collectible condition.
