On the fore edge margin of ten pages, there is a minor - yet discernable - waving to ten pages half way down the fore edge and approximately one inch in length. There are no stains/folds or the like accompanying these ten 'wavy' edges but they can be detected unless the book is closed tightly, at which point they disappear. The d/j is not price clipped.
