Available for immediate purchase. I bought this new about 8 years ago, read it once, and then stored it in a dark place with a book cover on. It's in beautiful condition overall, but as you can see in the photos, there's one fold (see photo 6). However, other than that, it's like new, so I'm listing it as "near mint." Shipping will be done by wrapping it in cushioning material, waterproofing it, and then packaging it in a paper bag or similar. Thank you.
