Some scuffing and a little marking, some signs of shelf-wear, slightly bumped corners. Book has forward tilt. Binding reasonably firm, though some cracking to rear inner hinge. Page edges slightly deckled and a few page edges have slight jagged and torn edges due to the leaves having been a little unevenly separated.
