Condition:
Some light soiling to the covers (note: the light gray "staining" that appears across the center of the front cover and at bottom of the back cover, and the light orange "staining" near the bottom of the back cover are part of the cover design, as issued); the top layer of paper has peeled a bit at the top and bottom edges of the spine; worn corners. Some chipping along the edges of the boards. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages. The inside of the book is in excellent condition - mostly clean pages with only an occasional light ink smudge here and there. Overall the book is in very good condition.
