Book is VG, with only some rubbing on spine, otherwise would perhaps be near-fine, with sharp corners on the boards. Pages are bright, clean, and unmarked, with no significant yellowing. DJ is Fair, with some fading to the spine area, a tear in the upper-left-front that affects the top of the 'O' in "Doctor," a tear at the bottom of the spine, some rubbing, and some water-staining that is only visible on the inside of the DJ.
