Condition: Acceptable. The front cover shows visible peeling at the top-left corner and paper crushing along the edges. The spine is intact but shows light creasing consistent with a book of this size. Page edges exhibit significant yellowing and tanning due to age, though the interior pages remain clean and free of any writing or highlighting. This is a complete and sturdy reading copy.
