Like New. The large-format folio hardcover features immaculate black buckram boards with crisp spine titling, sharp corners, and a tight, unread-feeling binding. Pages are pristine, clean, and appear completely unhandled, with Withers’ photographs reproduced in breathtaking clarity. The dust jacket is equally sharp—bright, glossy, and unrubbed—with only a faint top-edge flare from storage, not affecting appearance or integrity. A stunning, collector-grade first edition.
