This is Dr. Jeffrey Pearson's Private Estate item in Fair Condition.
This is a hardcover book with the original dust jacket that has some water damage near the top and bottom. The first page has a dedication to Bob Elliott from possibly Tom Gagnon but can not verified since it was signed only Tom. The first few pages have stains and along the edge of the pages as well.
First Edition 1986
