    Other than a small chip on the exterior of the book, I would have assumed it was almost new. No marks or scratches on the pages and definitely not a worn out/ overly used book. If they have other books I want, I will probably buy again since it even managed to arrive 4-5 days before I expected.

    An informative and educational study of the form, structure, and greater social context of the letters of the alphabet. A compelling read for students of the written word.
