Overall condition fair: the dustjacket on this copy is a bit grubby with some scuffs and scratches, not too severe, a bit ruffled on its edges and corners, a bit faded on its spine; the front endpaper has been removed, and the pages are starting to yellow with age, but in other respects the book itself looks in good order, text appears to be free of marking.
