You are buying a (possibly) used (although not excessively) book. All pictures are of the actual book and overall it is very clean and in pretty decent shape. Now, cosmetically speaking on the inside it shows light brown dots, bent corners, discoloration but, the good news are that all of the pages can be red without any type of problems specially since nothing is written, highlighted, underlining, tear or badly damaged. On the outside cover it shows light blemishes, stains, brown spots, brown dots, bent corners, paint chips, wrinkles, discoloration but despite this issues this book, to me, looks closer to either Like New or Excellent at the very least. Nevertheless, buyer please see all of the pictures with zoom feature as the pictures are also a visual part of the description.
