Overall condition fair to good: the dustjacket on this copy is a bit scuffed, some wear and discolouration on its edges and corners, noticeable but not severe – looks ok externally, but is quite yellowed with age on its unprinted side; the book itself looks in good order, text appears to be free of marking.
