Please take your chance.  The Da Vinci Code  ARC   Advance Reading Copy  by Dan Brown  Known as The Da Vinci Code ARC with the cover art  A absolutely qualified, and extremely rare Collectible item  you can't afford to just pass by The fact that it is one of only 4500 copies ever printed makes  it scare and hard to find; and it is even harder to find it in Near Fine condition  I figured many sold or currently on sale copies are not in as good  shape, and some may be slightly abused. But this copy is indeed excellent. The binding is tight and square,  and free from any seen tilt.The Covers are clean and shiny, and pages are crisp, white, and no aging tone, no tears, or missing pages. No dog ears, no crease or wear. It seems to me that this book has never been read, but still I listed it as used because I don't want to lead you to think it is flawless. As a matter of fact, it is not flawless or perfect. But believe me, the only flaws are a small crease to the bottom edge of the front cover and a slightly creased corner of the senior editor's letter page, which you may miss if you don't inspect closely. Also, the front cover has a slight lifting since I opened it and scanned a picture of the page underneath. Otherwise it would have been passed for fine.If a 10 to 1 scale is used to rate the book, I'll rate it at 9.  And The best part of this auction  is I started the auction at A very Reasonable BIN Price , which gives you a lot of room to bring a premium when time comes you want to find it a new home.
