Externally, smart with slight bumping and rubbing and the odd mark. A number of small tears and chips to the edges of the dust wrapper, and a few marks, more so to the rear.

Bright and clean with the exception of mild discolouration and the odd spot, more common to the first and last few pages. Very Good.
