Condition generally Good, perhaps a little better; owner name to first page, mild spine and edge wear/bumping, light tanning to pages. Note that what appears to be the remains of tape stains on the back cover must have been transferred from another book, as this copy has no tears that have ever required a tape repair. Please see photos and ask for more detail if required.
