BRAND NEW Bk w/ poss. subtle ding/s ('Read More' just below gives details). 100% Satis. Guaranteed! Fast Shipping. DETAILS: This book is brand new returned from a bookstore with ... clean, crisp pages. In fact, typically, it still has that wonderful new book smell, but note there may be a small imperfection such as a little cover crease or light scuffing or a store sticker on back. Often there is no ding or the ding is so small you can still give it as a gift. We just cannot promise it is gift quality every time, as we tend to have multiple copies and we cannot catalog and describe each ding (or lack thereof). ALSO PLS NOTE SERVICE MATTERS: We stand by our name and offer an iron-clad 100% satisfaction guarantee. We ship right away, respond quickly to inquiries, and treat our customers like we want to be treated: politely, friendly and eager to please! Read more Show Less
