Condition: My copy of this catalog is new and in excellent condition. The binding is very tight, with no creases in the spine from the catalog having been opened and closed repeatedly. Both covers and all interior pages are intact. The interior pages have no rips, creases or writing on them. There is very, very minor evidence of wear to the edges ends of the covers and spine.
Note: It would have been impossible for me to scan any of the interior pages without altering the condition of the catalog. The image I have used in my listing is from the front cover and shows a Late Hellenistic or Early Roman Imperial Marble Head of Aphrodite from c. 1st Century B.C. (Lot # 12).
