Two spots of wear. First, the cover is coated with a thin layer of plastic, which is peeling a little at the front right edge (see photo). Second, the lower left corner was exposed to a little water at some point in its life (this is Western Washington, so that kind of thing happens a lot). The water left no staining, but a little bit of a ripple can be observed. The glossy pages are clean, tight and unmarked, and full of over 125 color photographs of all sorts of Mexican ceramic work.
