The bookmark/foldout comes in its' original plastic case/covering. The bookmark/foldout also has some very clearly visible! We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all of the wear when determining the value of this rare book and bookmark/foldout.If the dust jacket in particular was in better condition our asking price would be considerably higher.We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear.Once again, the wear to both the book, the dust jacket and the bookmark/foldout is VERY clearly visible!The wear to the dust jacket and bookmark/foldout in particular is extensive!All of the wear but particularly to the dust jacket and the bookmark, should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection.Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!!Following the conclusion of the auction, payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed.Please feel free to contact us with any and all questions.
