The spine is a little worn with some edge rubbing and chipping at the bottom where there is a one inch crack next to the front cover. The back cover has some surface creasing and marking. The edges of the text block are a little uneven but the binding feels secure. Two light marks to the inside of the front cover, a small closed tear to the edge of page 121 and a small stain to page 65. Browning to the pages which are otherwise unmarked. First printing.
