The unclipped jacket is chipped at the edges; the body of the book lacks both end papers, the front hinge has been reinforced with masking tape; the title page, as well as the blank tail of the last page have very loud withdrawn stamps as well as a circular library stamp. The library stamp is repeated at the tail of page 55. The pages are well thumbed, albeit clean. A good used copy, but not recommended for the squeamish.
