Overall fair to good condition for its age:

• Cover: marks and wear at edges and corners
• Spine: marks and wear/fraying at ends
• Pages: overall good condition with some age marks, water marks on some corners, writing/underlining on a few pages, folded corners and small tears. Most all pages are clean
• Edges: age marks and darkening

Please see all pictures as well to help determine condition.

Thanks for looking!
