The dust jacket shows some wear particularly on the edges which include some small tears and chips and some staining probably from tobacco smoke on the inside (but without any remaining odor). The hard covers are pristine without blemish or bump. Inside the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
