The binding is holding tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean!
Some general/shelf/age wear along with...
Scuffing/rips/marks/wear to the front cover, the rear cover and the spine. The wear is particularly noticeable near/along the edges and at the corners. The wear, particularly the scuffing and rips, is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered.
Marks/wear to the edge/fore pages.
Creases/scuffing/wear to the pages. While not terribly egregious, the wear is still clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered.

Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear is VERY clearly visible!
All of the wear, particularly to the front cover, the rear cover and the spine, should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying.
Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection.
