The book is in very good condition in a very good plus unclipped ($18.99) dustjacket, with black boards and gilt spine titles.

Synopsis - This is the first book in Mead's popular Bloodlines series. From the publisher: "When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles, and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive--this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood."

Condition Details - The book has a square spine, a very tight binding, and no marks, tears, writing or turned down page corners. The cover has sharp corners, very light edgewear, no soil or stains. The textblock edges are white and clean. The dustjacket (in new, protective Brodart) has very light rubwear, no tears or chips. No unpleasant odors.
