This paragraph is a copy of the condition description (seller notes) for the benefit of those using the eBay mobile app: "There is no problem with the binding of the book block. However, on the front page (see image 7) and back page (see image 15) there has been some separation of the inside of the covers from the respective pages. The issue here seems only cosmetic, because the book block is still adequately bound to the cover in the region of the spine. Another issue is that there is some staining to the front cover near the top right; see image 1. There is creasing at the bottom left of the back cover; see image 2. There is significant bashing to the top of the spine cover; see the third-from-last image for a close-up of this. There is some staining to some of the pages at the fore-edge (see the second-from-last image for an example of this) and at the inside back cover (see the last image). There is mild tanning of the pages due to age."
