RE book itself: 3 pp. were jointly micro-dogeared (unintentionally, it appears: pp. 87, 89, 91, at bottom right page corners, fore-edge) and 3 pp., also at bottom right page corners, were creased (1 1/4" diagonal: pp. 125, 127, 129, with echoing soft crease, diminishingly, forward [through p. 138] and backward [through p. 87]): describes much worse than it is (NO text affected), but there you have it. Besides the page corner mishaps and 1/8" strip of diminished black across lower front cover edge (beneath the light blue strip on dustwrapper, which is NOT faded) book looks As New and UNREAD: Tight binding (NO crackes); sharp corners (NO bumps or curls); NO rubbing wear; NO remainder marks; NO previous owner names. Clean text. Classic Bradford-MIT publication in Philosophy of Language. Solid copy.
