Olive green cloth covered cover boards, with the author and title printed on the front cover and spine. No dust jacket. Light spots of edge wear to the head and heel of the spine. Minor rubbing wear and wear marks from use. Corners are just slightly bumped inward, with minor dots of rubbing wear to the very tips of the corners. Former owner's name written in what appears to be fountain pen ink on the first flyleaf. Binding and hinges are intact and all text pages are intact. No further former ownership marks besides the signature. Not a library discard copy. Page 172 has a 'dog ear' place holder crease at the top corner. Top-stain is faded.
