PLEASE NOTE!!!!  Unfortunately there is a VERY small mistake in the description where I have missed out a word.  The sentence 'The opening edge is beautifully straight with  feathering!' in the cover part of the description is WRONG and should of course read 'The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!' (as there is absolutely NO feathering AT ALL on this SUPERB cover!).  This is a truly an AWESOME example and easily the BEST I have EVER seen!!!!  So please read on about this AMAZING item!!!!  Good luck!!!!
