Judging a book by its cover: Its a softcover. In this case there is very minor damage from storage. The pages are slightly yellowing. All in all, the book is in excellent condition, especially considering its age. The book is well organized, with some concessions to scholastic convenience. Its a little heavy reading at times. The translation appears directed at the scholarly layman. The scholarship is a a bit out of date, copyrighted in 1996. Most texts are laid out according to their excavation number. For example, if you seek to read 4Q491 (the War Scroll), it is one of the few that is out of numerical excavation order, but it appears with related texts according to their excavation numbers (apparently other war scrolls). This is an useful book revealing the background of a Jewish apocalyptic sect of the early turn of the millennium. That apocalypse came with the arrival of the Roman Legion.Read full review
