The dust jacket is intact and has been protected with a clear, removable cover. Jacket has a poke mark on the left side of the front panel at the binding gutter, and a light vertical line of rubbing wear at the left side too - see photos. Sturdy gray colored cloth covered boards, with the title in gold on the spine. There is a small pen mark on the front cover board, a 1/2" long thin line of purple pen ink on the lower left side near the spine gutter - looks like someone just dropped a pen there - see photos. Sewn binding is tight and square. Edges of the text block are clean. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. This is not a library discard copy. The attached photos are of the copy we have in our inventory.
