Description
Condition
ACCEPTABLE: The book's spine, cover, and pages are in acceptable condition, which means that the book has been used extensively, but is still presentable and readable. There are definite signs of shelf wear and some stains, curling, or creasing is present, but the pages have not been marked on. There is one page that was repaired with transparent tape (pp. 465 and 466), but the overall condition of this book is quite good.
