Light wear to extremities, some trivial dust-soil to wrappers, a few tiny tears to the yapped edges, with a few small nicks and closed tears to spine, costing most of the printed date; still a bright, tight, and straight copy, unrepaired, with the… pages still creamy and supple, and the cover unmarred; Very Good+.
