Reasonably good condition overall with a few flaws. Cover has splayed a bit at the corners (see photo). Some wear and tear to cover - scuffing, slight grubbiness in places, discolouration/fading to spine, wear to corners and to top/bottom of spine. A couple of very small tears to top of spine. Bumping to top outer corner throughout. Foxing to endpapers (especially to back endpaper). General age discolouration/tanning, heavier to endpapers. But otherwise good. Binding is tight. Hinges are sturdy. Internal pages are otherwise good - clean with no major flaws. No major stains, no tears or annotations
