Thank you for viewing. I believe this is an art photography book. There is white paper placed under the cover. (This will be removed before shipping) There are no tears according to a casual inspection, but there is some soiling on the back of the cover. Although the other pages appear clean, please be aware that this is an old item and may show signs of aging. This is a used book, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a new copy. The postcard that came with the book at the time of purchase is also included. Thank you.
