HISTORY
"Coffee table" book with plenty of great coloured photographs of each band member, particularly Freddie (the supreme showman) of course. The text in the book, of which there is plenty - this book is not just a pretty picture book, but it also tells the band's story from a musical perspective and with not so much focus on their individual personal lives.
So, on with the show ... let me give some details about this book

COSMETIC CONDITION:
I am not an expert in book appraisals, I just look at the pictures and read the book! Here is my best effort to describe the condition
USED (barely)
Very Good condition overall
NO tears or damage to the front or rear covers and the inner pages.
NO personal writing anywhere on the book
NO marks or discolouration to the front and rear pages and all of the internal pages - nice clean White paper stock.
The glued spine looks to be in very good, sound condition
All of the pages are clean and unmarked, but I do see some light corner curling to the front cover and some of the initial inner pages, right hand side (the opening side of the book).
All of the pages are present and accounted for!
I have now sealed this book within a CELLOWRAP plastic (non-reactive with paper) and then sitting on a 'bed' of stiff cardboard and once again sealed in clear plastic. Snug as a bug in a rug!
