The jacket is covered with a clear plastic wrapper, and has only very minor edge ware, with a few minor losses at the top on the back cover.

There is a white cloth page finder that remains in a very good condition. The book comes inside a sleeve which has shelf / edge ware bumping and nicks, but is still in a very good condition to protect the book and jacket. It has had minor repairs. Overall, I class this as in a very good condition, especially with it still having the sleeve with it.
