The book was hand signed by the author at an author event, in front of me, at the Denver Tattered Cover Bookstore. Literally taken out of a box, from the publisher, taken out of the box handed to the author, signed in front of me and stored. See my other author event signed books in my store. The bookplate has a stain from the author, as he was signing the book, in front of me, something must’ve been on his thumb as he wrote his name and the result is that stain.” Guaranteed to pass any professional grading service!

Hardcover Jacket Grade; F Book Grade: F —————————— PLEASE SEE THE BELOW explanation for my grading scale to understand how I assess the quality of my book collection. I use an antiquarian universal, standard grading scale to ensure a clear, accurate description of the book and dust jacket. * New (N): The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been kept in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old. •Fine (F) New and Unread with Remarkable Dust Jacket. A Fine book approaches the condition of New, but without it being crisp. * Near Fine (NRF): A few small flaws are present Near Fine (FN): The book may have been opened and has no noticeable flaws. •Very Good (VG): A sound and collectible copy with some visible flaws but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted. •Good (G): A worn book that is perfectly readable but not collectible. Describes the average used worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted. Please ask any additional questions regarding dust cover jacket, spine condition or page condition BEFORE purchase!
