This book is in great condition. There is wear on the binding, edges, and covers but this is to be expected considering the age of this book. This was a library book so there are some library markings and a card holder on the back cover. There are not any marks, writing, or rips on any of the pages other than the fore mentioned library marks. The pages have yellowed a bit with age also.
