The book itself shows very minor shelf wear to the board tail edges and the head edges of same are a tad faded. The dust jacket is mildly edge worn with small chips and nicks at the spine crown and tail. The front panel is rubbed and all four corners are clipped with the price still on the top of the front jacket flap. One of the nicer copies that we have seen in awhile. .
