Overall condition fair to good: this copy has some wear on the covers, in particular some creasing on the lower part of the front cover and the first few pages of the book; some curling to the edges and corners; the spine is slightly skewed, though this looks like an effect of the binding, rather than of reading; the spine is not from reading, text appears to be free of marking.
