Antonín Rükl Libri

Please due to the low cost of this item, I cannot offer shipping outside the USA (it is cost prohibitive). NOT Ex-Lib - nice copy! Very slight shelf wear. No tears, pen marks, wrinkled pages, etc. Some errors in book corrected by me with very light pencil marks, which are helpful for a reader, not detracting from the book (very easily erased if desired). Dust jacket also in VG cond. Thank you for your purchase! -Jason
