CONDITION: Moderate shelf ware with a 1/2 inch tear at the lower half of the spine. Front hinge has cracked, yet boards are still well affixed. Only very occasional annotation or underlining in pencil. Previous owner's name is written on the front flyleaf. Even so, this is a very pretty and solid copy. Full refund if not satisfied. Very Good.
