Overall condition fair: this copy shows its age somewhat, the usual scuffs and marks on its covers, some mild wear on the edges and corners, and a crease up the spine, though not too severe; printed on low-grade paper, so the pages are a little foxed on the edges, and overall rather yellowed with age, but in other respects looks in good order internally; text appears to be free of marking.
