Total number of pages: 8
This book was bought new and used to be in very good condition. I take very good care of my books in my smoke-free environment, BUT the paper in this has not aged well. Every page shows spots of age discoloration, hence the reduced price.
Notes on condition:
dust jacket: none, as issued
binding: heavy paper; front cover skewed from binding, with tiny tears and creasing at left edge; short tear outside edge back cover; see notes above about discoloration from aging
interior pages: no rips, all pages secure; discoloration from aging; tape adhered to top edge of three panel pockets
Please see photos to get a sense of the condition, exciting paper engineering and lively illustrations!

I am happy to combine shipping to save my buyers money. Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and does not vary with distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost.
However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference.
