This book is square, very clean, free of corner bumps and edge dings; the head and heel of the spine are also free of bumps. The bottom edges and corners have a small amount of wear. It has slight fading around the top edge of the boards, fading that is fairly typical of this series.

The paper is quite flexible. The book lists only the first 11 Swift Jr. titles on the back of the half-title page; there is no other list in the book. This book could almost pass for new.
