This pre owned hardcover is in excellent condition. There are a few dents on the corners and spine of the cover. The back of the cover has a mark from where the book store sticker was. The cover is hard, but made out of a soft yellow material almost like linen. The inside is clean of marks. I have included photos for review. This was produced by Barns and Noble in 2007 and has beautiful illustrations throughout. Quick handling turnaround.
