Pages are clean and intact overall but first few pages (especially the first page) and bottom edges of most pages have moisture damage and possible mold damage.

Covers are clean and intact overall but have a closed tear at bottom edge of cut-out window on front, about 3 1/2" slit on back with tape repair, splitting along spine, and bumping, chipping, and small closed tears at corners and edges.
