LEC Turn of the Screw

Hello,

I'm looking to buy the LEC Turn of the Screw but the slipcases I've seen tend to look very worn. Is this book known to have an easily damaged slipcase?

I was also wondering if anyone could share a photo of the case in good condition, just out of curiosity to see what it should look like under ideal circumstances:)

Thanks for any help~

The mottled gold covering on the slipcase does tend to be somewhat fragile--I suspect it is a thin foil or paper not unlike the infamous copper foil used to cover the Moll Flanders slipcase. The slipcase construction itself seems not the highest quality. I will post some pictures of my copy, which is in about as good a condition as I have seen (I bought it because the glassine was still intact and the book apparently unread).

I deliberately tried to get a reflection so the irregularities in slipcase construction are shown in relief, but apologize for the poor image quality:

Excellent, thanks for the quick response. That is indeed a very nice looking copy and the first I've seen with the glassine!
