Looking for a copy of this book just to get you through a class? This is a VERY USABLE hardback. 1100+ pages. As you can see from the photos, the back cover came loose and is taped. I don't see writing or markings inside. As you can also see in photos 3 and 4, there is some water damage in last few pages. A water stain on the bottom end but it only bleeds through on the last few pages. This is a VERY usable book. Fast shipping.
