Overall condition poor to fair: the covers on this copy are rather battered and creased; printed on low-grade paper so pages very yellowed with age; the top edge has been trimmed badly, resulting in some ripping to several of the page tops — on at least three sheets there are rips extending down into the text; the spine is not heavily creased, and the text appears to be free of marking.
