Leaves with occasional very light handling wear, and as is typical with this special edition, the adhesive used to attach the tipped-in leaf has dried and it is now slightly loose, though easily repaired; unclipped jacket with minor edge wear and spine yellowed; slipcase with scuffing, two minor and subtle damp stains, a couple of ink marks, and typical edge and corner wear with areas of splitting at top and bottom panel; an about near fine copy in a very good or better jacket and good slipcase.
