Price-clipped jacket is heavily rubbed with some loss at all corners, tearing at top corners of rear panel, rubbing along spine edges, a few small creases visible. Housed in Brodart cover, which is a little scuffed up. Book itself has some foxing at top page edges, some writing on half title page, otherwise solidly VG.
