Condition-

There's a price sticker ( I hate when they used to do that back in the day! ) and there is a small slice to the cover, which seems to have been done with a Stanley knife, perhaps when they were opening it from a stack wrapped up? I didn't even realise it was there because it's such a clean cut, without any rough edges. I've shown a close-up on both sides of the cover. Besides that, there is normal usage wear, but I have had it bagged and boarded for many years. All the pages are intact, and nothing is cut out. Pages are off white.
