The dust jacket shows an almost naked lady on the front of the dust jacket and on the back it shows a naked man in a crotch position. There is a small 1/3 inch or less tear on the back of the dust jacket near the spine. Also, a small one inch cut or tear on the book board top back midway that extends only slightly to tip top of pages for about 2-3 inches. Due to the mentioned imperfections mentioned here, we discounted the price offered on this book. The book is quite interesting and a practical manual for all students of art. A very nice art book! *1BC6
