The dust jacket has light chips in the corners, front panel creased at the lower corner, edge creasing and a few short closed tears in the edges, wrinkle to the rear cover and rear panel darkened. Some rubbing and wear to the spine ends and a few nicks to the spine edges. Looks better than it sounds. Good clean copy.
