This volume is in almost perfect condition. The only flaws that stop me from giving it a Fine rating are slight yellowing internally and dust marks/foxing along top of pages (see photos). In all other ways the book is excellent: pages are tight and unmarked in any way; cover is clean and bright. The unclipped dust-jacket is intact and clean.
