Condition
VERY GOOD: The book’s spine and pages are in very good condition, showing only slight signs of use and wear. The front cover has a small bend, but this is hardly noticeable. The pages are free of marks. Since this is an older edition (1989), the book’s inside front and back covers are beginning to tan slightly, but the pages themselves do not show this aging.
