Overall condition fair to good: this copy has some scuffs and creases on the covers, and in particular the lower edges and corners are rather creased and ruffled; pages starting to yellow with age, and at least 1 has its corner turned over as a place-marker; the spine is not creased from reading and the text appears to be free of marking.
