General Notes
Collectors Notes As with other jackets that have the colour red on them, fading is the main issue. The text on the spine should be bright red as shown but often fades to orange or yellow. The dust jacket has a shiny coating which can become slightly opaque giving the jacket a yellow appearance. The shiny paper makes restoration of damage to this jacket difficult. There are no specific issues with the book itself, except perhaps to note that for some reason it seems unusual for the book to be offered for sale without the dust jacket. Earlier titles are frequently sold with missing dust jackets as they were viewed simply as protectors for new books and often discarded.
