books: not your typical crummy internet description

Not professional, but unlike many of its ilk it gives you clear picture of condition:

Book Condition: Good. There is some good news and bad news about this hardcovered book. The bad news is that the binding is crap between the front cover of the rest of the volume. This can be easily reinforced with some tape. Also the book has been stamped withdrawn on the inside cover page. No dust jacket. There is some writing on the inside cover page. The good news is that the binding remains tight in the pages in the marvelous pictures flow cleanly and clearly from beginning to end. A whole art book on the inside include condition for you to enjoy. Each page a treasure. So if you do not mind that the book seems to have come from the library, you have a wealth of beauty inside.

If I were in the market for a beat up 'reading copy' of that title, I believe this fellow would get my business.

Was tempted to give this a satirical UPWORTHY blog title along the lines of

YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS BOOK DEALER SAID ABOUT A TITLE


but resisted.
