Overall fair to good condition for its age:

Cover: marks and wear at edges and corners (bumped/curled). Fading around edges
Spine: marks, fading (lighter than cover) and wear/tearing at ends
Pages: overall good condition for age. May have a few stray age marks
Edges: rough cut fore edge, minor wear for age

Please see all pictures as well to help determine condition (zoom in) and ask questions if needed.

Thanks for looking!
