Overall condition fair: this copy looks rather battered, some heavy-ish scoring on both covers which shows through on the pages at either end of the book; elsewhere, the covers are rather creased, some wear on the edges with the corners a bit curled and frayed, a bit of creasing on the spine; text appears to be free of marking.
