As seen in the photos, the dust jacket's spine is faded (sunned), and there are generally signs of age, such as discolouration and other marks. Foxing is present throughout, notably on the book block and page edges. In addition, there are moderate signs of wear and tear, mainly on the edges of the book cover and spine, which have minor scuffs. 

 

There are some isolated marks (in addition to foxing) on various pages and some dog-eared pages. However, all pages appear to be intact and otherwise clean. The book cover and spine are in good condition and remain unbroken. It exhibits moderate signs of wear and handling. Some dust is present on the book block.

 

N.B. the photos are an integral part of the listing and include some detailed photos to highlight the most salient flaws and damage.
