Overall condition fair to good: the boards on this copy are a bit warped, some mild grubby marks and a little rubbed and wrinkled on the edges and corners, but not heavily worn; at least 1 page has some lines of the text smudged (manufacturing error), but the text itself remains legible; in other respects looks in good order internally, text appears to be free of marking.
