    The book still has its original dust jacket which is in generally good condition. It has a small triangular tear with missing paper. The edges of the dust jacket are a little tatty and the bottom inner flap of the front dust cover has had the bottom corner cut off. The whole cover has a some minor scuffing and signs of use and storage.

    The book itself is in very good vintage condition and shows only minimal signs of age and use. The pages are all straight with no writing or marks. The pages are thick cream paper and it does have a slightly 'old book' smell to it.
