Condition: My copy of this catalog is new and in excellent condition, overall. The binding is very tight, both covers and all interior pages are intact. The interior pages have no rips, creases or writing on them. The exterior of the catalog is also in great shape, with very, very minor evidence of wear to the edges ends of the covers and spine. My copy also contains the list of prices realized, which will be included with the catalog.
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 detail of an Egyptian 26th Dynasty, reign of Apries, Fragmentary Diorite Head of King Apries from 589-570 B.C. (Lot # 47).
