The book itself is worn, with a number of tears to paper over front and back joints, as well as several minor dings to extremities and light soiling and mild spotting to covers. One area to front board admits to a little heavier soiling. The text is clean. Hinge is cracked, though all leaves remain in place. Interior is generally clean and fresh. Band is a little worn and admits to light soiling, though this wear isn't offensive. The envelope for the card admits to several cuts, probably from opening, though, overall, remains in good condition
