Boards lovely with only the slightest shelf wear; ownership signature and bookstore sticker (with associated offsetting) on paste-downs; occasional light grime, very light foxing (concentrated on endpapers), and closed tear to page edges; wear to final two text leaves with chips, tears, and a small loss at the margin not impacting text; jacket with sunning, overall light grime, minor foxing mostly to interior, some wear to edges and folds, and date written on the cover. Very good in good to very good jacket.
