Overall condition fair to good: the dustjacket on this copy is rather grubby, with some staining on the unprinted side, but overall not too badly worn, corners of flyleaves clipped; pages somewhat yellowed with age; some staining to the lower edge at the back end of the book, though not overly intrusive; text appears to be free of marking.
