Many copies of this sampler have passed through my hands over the years and this is the finest one I’ve heard - not totally perfect of course - an odd one-off tick noted but nothing really and I think a better one would be pretty hard to find
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Fine example - crisp and sharp - strong spine with all text clear and bold - deep gloss to the outer laminated surfaces and clean inner surfaces - only flaw of note is where the two sides of the cover have stuck together (probably from the factory) resulting in a little paper loss on the inside (please see close-up photographs)
