Vintage 1968 The Machine Mechanical Age Pontus Hulten MoMA HC Metal Art Book
Very Good
Vintage metal-covered hardcover shows moderate shelf wear with surface scuffing, scratches, and handling marks to the reflective boards, especially on the back cover where several linear scuffs and a patch of residue are visible as shown. Metal spine strip exhibits tarnishing, small spots, and minor edge rubbing but hinges remain secure and binding is tight and square. Cover corners display small bumps.
