There is some damp spotting and fading on the fore edge of the front board and a water stain around the bottom corner of the rear board. The contents are tight and clean with a faint stain near the bottom corner of the rear fixed endpaper and a name and date has been written on the front free endpaper. The unclipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with some soiling and a large red stain is visible on the reverse of the wrapper around the bottom rear corner. Small pieces are missing from the corner tips, about 1/4" from the bottom of the spine, a larger piece from the bottom rear spine corner, up to about 1/2" from the top of the spine and up to about 1/4" from parts of the top front and rear edges. The top front edge has noticeable creasing and there are several small tears on the top edge.
