Very good condition. > there is a very slight tear on the book's plastic protective cover. The text takes the form of a literary fantasy in the manner of the 18th century. "The style of the narrative and Ramón Alejandro's works rests on a play of cross-cut metaphors between the rigour of typographic art and the fantastical freedom of creation."
