Condition: It is very good for its age. The binding is still sound, but beginning to loosen near the front. The covers have a some soiling and a little surface wear. There is very little edge wear, some corner and spine end wear. The pages are lightly tanned. There are a few pages with smudges, but most clean. I found no tears and two tiny folded corners. There is some staining on the back facing page. There is some staining on the page ends. It is darker blue than the pictures show due to the overhead lighting.
