Inside of the book is in excellent condition. The book cover has a few small tears. This book is selling for $50+ on eBay and online with no cover at all. This is a beautiful book, rich in history, with 161 archival photos and so much information on the last 200 years of history in Blacksburg, VA. I bought the book while visiting Virginia Tech and found it so interesting. It needs to find its way to someone connected to the area that would truly appreciate it.
