The corners of the boards are rubbed or blunted, and the heel and crown of the spine have softened. There is a soft dent in the top edge of the front board and the bottom edge of the back board. A barely discernible seam in the surface of the front board corresponds to a shallow channel in the front panel of the jacket. Shallow, circular indentation in the surface of the back board, just below the top edge. The jacket is bright and price intact, and the artwork on both panels is unaffected by the sun, as the photos illustrate. The spine is mildly sunned, and the top edges of the white flaps are tanned. Short, closed tear in the top edge of the front panel and two shorter tears in the top edge of the back panel. There is a puncture in the front panel of the jacket, along the gutter, 3/4 of an inch in length. Softening of the jacket along the top edge of both panels and flaps with edge wear. There are a few, small, unobtrusive indentations in the surface of both panels, along the top edge. Softening and corresponding color loss to the heel of the jacket's spine and the bottom edges of the folds. Bumps to the bottom edge of the back panel, at the fold and at the mid-point, have caused a few cascading wrinkles in the paper, but this is mostly visible from the reverse side of the jacket.
