Mottled gray card wrappers with Title, Author and Publisher name lettering in dark blue on front cover. Some faint tan, "wood grain"--appearing, stains on top and bottom edges and at a place on the spine (NO bleeding onto pages, NO warping or wrinkling, No odor--essentially negligible); spine slightly cocked; slight sunning of spine (ALL lettering still sharp and distinct, eminently readable) and across rear bottom cover and top front cover: describes worse than it is, but there you have it. Binding still tight (NO cracks); corners sharp (small upward curl to top right front cover corner); NO rubbing wear; NO previous owner names. Clean text.
