WRAPPER : The wrapper on this copy is bright, unfaded and complete. It is unclipped. The front panel is bright and unfaded, showing light rubbing to the top edge. The spine is unfaded - it is lightly rubbed at the ends. The back panel is bright. Looks sharp in protective plastic.
BOOK : The book is square and very tight. The boards are clean - there is a touch of fading to the top edges. The spine ends are gently bruised. The pages are clean. The closed page edges are sound - the top edge is a little dusty. No dog-eared pages. The binding is solid - no cracked hinges. There are no previous ownership inscriptions.
