Although preloved, this fantastic softcover book, is in very good condition throughout, especially for its age, being very clean and well cared for with NO creasing or folds, rips or tears, writing, scribble or notes. The front and back covers are also in very good, sturdy condition just displaying some very minimal bookshelf wear due to storage - see scans. I am especially over critical of my special books, trying to note as many details as possible - as I know how important even minor details are for collectors/buyers.
