This is Volume Two of the Ken Sharp Power Pop Series. I hate to give these up, but really need to raise some money for med bills, so here we go. I can tell you that because my eyesight is also going, I have a difficult time now reading anything at length, so for all three installments, which are among the last books I bought, I could really only skim them. As a result, they all remain in really nice, tight (meaning pages, binding) condition. This one is basically perfect. At 760 pages plus, it's also by far the biggest. There is a small tiny corner bend on the front and back covers, which can be seen, but came that way in shipping. I will do a better job I think in packing this for you. 
Look at my other listings for the other two volumes. As much as I wanted to read volume 4, had to pass (I love Let's Active, would have liked to have up on that part in #4) because of these issues. In any event, they are oop and I think the asking price is fair. If you want all 3 I will happily combine shipping as well (media rate). Should you be overseas, I would have to get an idea of how much that might run. These are weighty tomes.
About the book:
Back in '67, in describing their new single "I Can See for Miles," the Who's Pete Townshend coined the term "power pop," not knowing that the genre would come to take its name from his offhand description.  

"A Hard Day's Night"..."You Really Got Me"..."Glad All Over"..."Feel A Whole Lot Better"..."Pictures of Lily"..."She's Not There"..."Carrie-Anne"..."Walk Away Renee"...”Tin Soldier”…"Happy Together"... “Lies”…"Do Ya"...”Open My Eyes”…"Go All the Way"..."No Matter What"..."September Gurls"...these classic songs share one common thread: they contain all the ingredients that make up a musical form known as "power pop."  

In Play On! Power Pop Heroes: Volume Two , the second installment of a three-volume series, Ken Sharp honors the musical innovators who built the genre’s foundation. Featuring a foreword by Rick Springfield and afterword by Cyril Jordan of the Flamin’ Groovies, the 750+ page book culls exclusive extended interviews with 23 artists that defined the genre and is profusely illustrated with rare photographs and original handwritten lyrics.
