The binding is holding tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean! Some general/shelf wear along with... Creases/scuffing/marks/wear to the front cover, the rear cover and the spine. The wear is particularly noticeable near/along the edges and the corners. Wear to the edge/fore pages. Creases/wear to the pages. Varying in size and severity and, thankfully, NOT affecting the text. All of the wear is VERY clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear.

Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!!
