About this Item

Good. The covers show light wear and some surface scuffing, with a little shine or soiling to the front, but no tearing and no major creasing. A small handwritten price mark sits at the upper right of the back cover. There is pink highlighting on two terms on pages 20 and 21 - Nondisclosure Laws and Privilege Laws - and that is the only marking found anywhere in the text. The rest of the pages are clean and white, and the binding is intact and square. There are no library stamps, card pockets, date-due slips, spine labels, barcodes or discard marks anywhere on the book. Two highlighted phrases in a professional reference is about as light as prior ownership gets.
