If you recall I saved you from a possible bad purchase as the book is damaged just enough to be distracting. Someone thumbed through it extra hard and put indentation/creases in it. The book's content is so good though that I've actually ordered a replacement copy thru Books Sanseido and plan on selling my damaged copy when the replacement arrives.

:eek2: 
). This “half bird/half mothâ€
