In very good condition. Glossy illustrated paper covers have light bumping to edges and corners and light overall scuffing. Binding tight (wire spiral). Pages clean and unmarked. NOT Ex-library. NO remainder marks. Color illustrations. The book features detailed reconstructions of the city on transparent film, allowing readers to overlay these reconstructions on photographs of the ruins as they exist today.
