Impressive 2007 first-edition-style hardcover of The Marvel Vault: A Museum-in-a-Book with Rare Collectibles from the World of Marvel by Roy Thomas and Peter Sanderson.

Condition

Good pre-owned condition overall. Cover shows some shelf wear, rubbing and edge/corner wear. Interior pages appear clean and colourful with the spiral binding intact.

Important: Several reproduction collectibles are clearly still present in the photographed pocket pages. I have not confirmed that every original insert is present, so I would not advertise this copy as “complete” unless all of the pockets are checked individually against a contents list.

Please review all photos closely for exact condition and included memorabilia.
