No writing in the book - not even an owner's name. Light foxing to book edges and endsheets - minimally within text. Pages are bright and crisp. Binding is tight and square. Green cloth covers lightly soiled. Dust jacket is darkly toned with some small tears at edges of boards. Minor chipping at one corner and to edges of spine (slightly affecting title lettering near spine head). Clipped corners. Dust jacket now protected by mylar and looks nice. Full refund if not satisfied.
