Condition of the book is generally ok. The dust jacket has several scuffs, blemishes and creases, and considerable nibbling, wear and small tears along the edges, but the spine is intact and all pages are intact and bound. There is some light yellowing to the inside page edges throughout, and the binding along the very last inside page is beginning to split.
