Book is very tight and square - possibly unread or once with care. No marks, stamps, or writing. Paper quality does not impress me (age tanning is mild/moderate and uniform) - but if you want this in hardcover, all copies will be like this. Dustjacket is mostly in very good shape, with 1/2" tear at top right corner next to flap-bend and a very slight tendency to curl away from the top edge.
