Nice, vibrant colors. No musty odor. The magic of Herge’s work really shines. Overall, a very nice first edition. Interior binding is also nice. End papers are a touch loose at the center. Small, light pencil writing (see photos) in a couple spots on the end papers.

Note —In the case of hardcover editions, the grading may be listed as NF/VG etc. The first grade represents the condition of the book and the second condition represents the dust jacket. In this instance the book would be in Near Fine condition with a Very Good dust jacket.
