Green cloth binding, flexible boards, with some scuffing and a little discolouration to spine and board edges and some signs of shelf wear. Corners bumped and quite soft due to flexible nature of boards. Binding a bit slack at spine but reasonably good overall, hinges intact and textblock quite firm.
