Please see the listing photos for contents and condition.  This first edition softcover book is new and sealed in the manufacturer's original clear plastic.  There is some minor shelf wear.   There is a 4-inch rip in the plastic at the bottom front and minor bumping to that corner (last photo).  There also is a small tear in the plastic on the back side, but no detectable damage to the book.  A new sealed copy of this book is rare.  Customer satisfaction is guaranteed.  A full refund is offered if you are not fully satisfied and I will pay the return shipping cost. Payment due at time of purchase.  I also have volume 5 of this series for sale.
