Condition:
Well-used vintage softcover with significant wear consistent with age and handling — heavy creasing, scuffing and small chips to the spine head and corners, a name inscription ("Melinda Perrotet") in ink on the front cover, and general edge wear throughout. Interior pages are intact and complete, with normal age-toning. A previous-owner name inscription is present but does not detract from readability; a solid, complete reading/reference copy.
