Boards with light scuffing, corners gently rubbed, spine and top edge toned, wear to spine concentrated at ends with slight separation at head; light cracking to front hinge; pages with expected age and handling wear such as mild toning, occasional offsetting from plates, small stains, and gutter cracking. Approaching very good.
