the book is in decent condition, with the cover and pages showing some wear and tear conditions. the book binding was loose on the front cover, but was repaired and glued back together. the pages show some wrinkling. a few tears or holes are scattered throughout the book. overall, the pages inside are in very, very good shape though.
