Nijinsky

The book is bound in red cloth with noticeable wear on the spine and edges. The spine label is significantly torn, and the binding shows some weakness, particularly at the hinges. There is no dust jacket. The pages are yellowed with age but remain intact, making it a readable copy despite its cosmetic flaws.
