The WRAPPER is complete and is in VERY GOOD++ or better condition. Exceptionally bright colouring with no fading to the spine. A little edge wear at the spine ends with a small closed tear to the front upper edge. The Marc Getter wrapper artwork looks very striking in the removable Brodart archival cover.
