This review is from: Miller's Collecting Porcelain (Hardcover)

The book was advertised as in Good condition, with some wear. When it arrived, the book looked like new off the shelf - no wear on the book jacket, clean pages, etc. It's rare to get something that's better than advertised. I highly ecommend Trinity City Books.
