The Taizé Picture Bible

The book is in fair condition, exhibiting signs of previous library use. The red cloth cover shows some wear, particularly at the corners and spine edges. There is no dust jacket present. Library markings, including a property stamp from the First Presbyterian Church, Ft. Collins, Colo., are visible. The binding remains intact, and the pages are clean, with Brother Eric de Saussure's illustrations still vibrant.
