The book is overall in good condition with some signs of wear and age. It is complete with both volumes bound together.

One of the text pages has a chip out of the top corner which does not affect the text. Along with that, there may be the very occasional page with some kind of other imperfection, such as another tiny chip or tear, minor wrinkle, etc. The book measures approximately 9 inches by 5 3/4 inches and is 686 pages long. ***********This book will require additional shipping charges if being sent outside of the United States***********.
