Light wear to boards including minor scuffing, subtle toning along top edge, and corners and spine ends rubbed; interior with scattered light grime, fold-out with small corner folds, and a few leaves with creasing; jacket unclipped ($3.75) with grime, damp staining, areas of toning, and wear to extremities including taped repairs at spine ends, now in removable mylar cover. Very good in good jacket.
