Overall condition fair to good: the dustjacket on this copy is rather scuffed, somewhat ragged on its edges and corners and a bit faded on its spine, price-clipped on its front flyleaf; boards and spine have some wear on the edges and corners; some pencilled crosses on the contents page, but the main text appears to be free of marking.
