I was very fortunate to find an actual "brand new" copy of this original 1985 edition book. Despite being 40 years old, it literally is brand new, flawless condition. It was shipped in its original publisher's box, and I'd swear I'm actually the first person to remove it from that box. I give the seller perfect feedback. Book was as advertised (great pictures), packaged well, shipped immediately and arrived quickly. Thank you! I'm thrilled to have this book!
