The book has a water ripple at the top of the first few pages (but no sign on the boards; otherwise the book would grade higher). The dust jacket is also graded VG, with very slight erosion at the ends of folds and a small mark at the top right of the front cover. The evidence of the book’s former life as a library book is limited to a large and very pink label on the flyleaf and a stamp on the publisher’s page.
