Condition

Outer Slipcase

EXCELLENT

An extremely respectable clean, strong & in-shape example which retains its high-gloss laminate all-round. All the edges are sharp & clean with no tears, feathering or missong paper. Apart from a a few small wrinkles to the front laminate and a tiny area of laminate lift towards the front lower left corner, there are no other signs of any further significant or major wear.

Trays

Outer: EXCELLENT -

Strong, in-shape unsquashed with just a single tear to one of the fold-over edges. However, the fold-over flaps are clean and uncreased with just some light rubbing from insertion into the outer slipcase. The rear is clean and black with no marks or wear.

Inner: EXCELLENT

This, the most delicate component of this set is strong & totally in-shape with just the inevitable small stress tears to the corners where the book sat. However, none have torn all the way through and all the fold-over edges are intact and have no tears or damage.

Book

EXCELLENT -

Both front & rear covers are clean & glossy with no creasing or any other significant wear. There are tiny rubs to a single corner on the upper & lower spine with a touch of laminate lift on the rear of the spine. This copy has a few loose, but no missing, pages -all of which are all clean and undamaged. The credits page 8 are printed.
