Overall condition fair: the dustjacket on this copy is rather ragged, with the lower part of the front flyleaf removed, some staining on its back panel and its spine faded; page edges a bit grubby, boards & spine a bit rubbed, especially on the edges and corners; otherwise the book itself looks in reasonable order, text appears to be free of marking.
