The condition of the book is generally good. The dust jacket is tatty and blemished, with considerable discoloration, and nibbling, bumping and wear along the edges and corners. The blue cover boards are intact, although there is a small area of bumping in the top right hand corner. Inside, the spine is tight and intact and all pages are intact and bound. Rusting from the paperclip holding the letter in place has caused blemishing to some adjacent pages.
