Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Fair condition - the binding is the problem, not the pages.

The front cover has light surface dirt and minor scuffs but the gold lettering is intact and legible. The back cover shows creasing and surface scuffs. Interior pages are yellowed with age but appear intact and readable, and no writing or highlighting was found on the pages examined. No library markings of any kind were found.
