The dust jacket on this book has a long crease at the bottom of the front. There is some wear and soiling on the dj too. It is now in a Mylar protector. The hardcover does have moderate wear on the fabric, but boards and spine cover are in good condition. The first page has the original owner's name and university he taught at. Pages are still white with a faint tan. Binding tight too.This book is from a private collection.
