Spot on bottom text-block and a couple faded spots to top-stain. Signed by the Author on the front endpaper with light spotting above. Dust jacket presents fairly well with light stains to front and heavier to rear, including some water spots. Heavy toning to rear with lighter toning to spine.

Moderate to heaving chipping of edges with several small open and closed tears. Moderate wear to creases and front hinge with heavier wear to rear hinge including a tiny hole near bottom. Some rubbing to rear panel causing a bit of loss.
