The covers exhibit a level of wear consistent with the passage of time, including noticeable edge and corner wear. A crease runs along the center of the spine cloth, and there are some splits at the head of the spine cloth. However, these features don't compromise the overall integrity of the book.Measuring 8.50 x 6.00 x 1.70 inches, the book's interior pages are unmarked, although there is a slight scent of smoke. This atmospheric element doesn't affect the clarity and readability of the text.The compilation opens with Ian Fleming's iconic "Casino Royale," where James Bond, the suave MI6 agent, engages in a high-stakes poker game against the sinister Le Chiffre. In "From Russia, with Love," Bond faces a deadly plot involving a Soviet decoding machine and a seductive Russian operative. The inclusion of "Doctor Who" brings a delightful twist, taking readers on a time-traveling adventure with the enigmatic Doctor.For your peace of mind, the book will be carefully packaged for shipment, and a USPS electronic tracking number will be provided at no extra cost.
