Book is as pictured. I might describe it as very good rather than like new. But the binding is tight and the pages are clean. The cover just has some smudge marks and the cover tiny nicks which is why I’d say very good. Also, for this size book I’m usually charged $4.87 rather than $6.25 but it arrived in a box, so that probably includes the box cost. The price was excellent and the book is as pictured so I’m happy with my purchase and would buy from this seller again.

    When Imagination was necessary

    Unbeatable account of American history - imagine only having words to prepare you to go where few had been.
