Great condition book. However, it is PRIOR to receiving the Library of Congress number. I haven't seen a copy of this that didn't have the Library of Congress number, and so this is a printing PRIOR to that assignment. It has very little wear, as can be seen in the pictures. There is slight staining on the rough page edges. There are no rips, tears, or staining within the book (I recently read it) and the spine is still very tight. This is a 245-page book that is an excellent addition to your collection.
