DJ has a approximate 3/4" tear on the front cover at the top and edge and corner wear. Back cover has a approximate 1/2" tear at the top and edge wear at the bottom. Inside of dust flaps appear to have been reinforced with tape and have brown spots on them. However, what I am describing has been vastly improved by adding the achival quality dustjacket and quite a bit is not even visible unless one takes the dust jacket off. 176 pages, interior of work is clean.
