Overall condition fair to good: this copy has a printing fault — seven of the colour pages have been printed off-register, so that they look a bit fuzzy; in other respects generally a good copy, some scuffs on the covers, a bit of wear at the edges and corners; a small sticker fixed on the front cover; the spine is a bit scuffed and wrinkled but not creased from reading, and the text appears to be free of marking.
