Brown cloth cover with attractive design featuring DaVinci's Last Supper painting portrayed in silver embossed print. Spine is also in silver featuring title, author, and publisher.

This book appears to have not been read, or, not read completely; some pages were not cut when printed. (The fore-edge is a fold rather than a cut edge.). Pages show tanning associated with age. Previous owner's name is written in front pasted endpaper; no other writing was found in book. Pages are clear of dog-ears, tears, etc. Outside fore-edges are rough from publisher; top and bottom fore-edges are smooth. Top fore-edge is darker than side and bottom. Binding is in excellent condition. Cloth cover shows mild wear; edges and corners are crisp. Tops of spine are gently bent in with mild fraying. Spine shows light stains/foxing. Silver printing of title on spine is deals bottom-to-top, rather than top-to-bottom as is more common in the U.S.

This book will be encased in an acid-free archival sleeve when shipped, and insured.
